Tips

history
濬 is an old, fuller form of 浚 ('to dredge / deepen a channel'); modern Chinese writes 浚 for that meaning. It survives only in classical text, place names like 濬县, and personal names. The water radical 氵 marks the watercourse meaning.
register
Archaic. For the dredging sense always write 浚 in modern text; 濬 appears only in old documents and names.

Components

radical
氵 sāndiǎnshuǐ
water (left-side form of 水)
氵 is the left-side form of 水 (water). It marks 濬 as an action on a watercourse: clearing and deepening a river or canal.
phonetic
睿 ruì
phonetic and meaning element
The right side is the deep-seeing element behind 睿; in 濬 it both shapes the sound and reinforces the idea of going deep, here making a channel deep.
