Source sentences:
text: Thus, we can think of the sediments accumulating in reservoirs (with negative consequences there) as “resources out of place,” because these same sediments are desperately needed by the downstream river system to maintain its morphology and ecology, as well as replenishing vital land at the coast.
text: Dams interrupt the continuity of sediment transport through rivers systems, causing sediment to accumulate within the reservoir itself (impairing reservoir operation and decreasing storage) and depriving downstream reaches of sediments essential to maintain channel form and to support the riparian ecosystem.
