English term or phrase: summer bed
Deepening the Summer Bed: The “summer bed” refers to the main river channel. This area can be excavated or deepened to make more room for water to flow directly in the channel. In order to deepen the summer bed, dredging must occur. Dredging is particularly important in the Netherlands because transport vessels regularly navigate the main river channels. Sediment usually returns to the summer bed quickly, so dredging must be repeated regularly.

o leito do río do verão


Explanation:
Aprofundar o leito/ a bacia do río do verão;
Obviously the nature/ state of the bed alters with the seasons; increased river traffic possibly increases the build up of sediment which then needs to be dredged regularly to maintain the correct river depths;
