The Colorado, Rio Grande, Nile, and Yellow Rivers often experience reduced flow or dry up before reaching their deltas due to a combination of factors, including increased water consumption for agriculture, urban development, and industrial use. Climate change also plays a role, as altered precipitation patterns and higher temperatures can lead to reduced snowmelt and increased evaporation. Additionally, dam construction and water diversion projects further limit the natural flow of these rivers, exacerbating the issue. As a result, these rivers may no longer have sufficient water to sustain their deltas, impacting ecosystems and communities that rely on them.
River Deltas are less common in the USA because of he Dams on the Colorado River. These Dams prevent fresh water flowing into the Colorado River. This in turn effects the Mississippi River.
There are many types of deltas: River-dominated deltas - Mississippi. Wave-dominated deltas - Nile. Tide-dominated deltas - Ganges.
The Grand Canyon was formed mainly due to the Colorado river, and also due to uplift pronouncing the scale of the canyon; it is not formed due to a delta, as deltas are only formed at the mouth of the river, not in its middle course.

Adding on: To what I have, the 15 largest River Deltas are: Ganges, Nile, Huang He/Yellow River, Yangtze, Indus, Orinoco, Yukon, Mekong, Irrawaddy, Lena, Mississippi, Chao Phraya, Rhine, Colorado, and Niger.
Deltas form at the mouth of rivers.
Deltas form at the mouth of rivers.
The deltas that are located in South America are the American Airline type deltas and other types of deltas are also located around South America.
Deposition build up deltas.
This accumulation of sediment is known as a delta. Deltas form when the river slows down upon reaching the ocean, causing sediment to settle and create a fan-shaped landform. The Mississippi River delta is one of the largest and most well-known deltas in the world.
Deposition happens when the forces like wind, water, and ice drop or lay down sediments on a new part of land that it has not been on before.
The "sand dunes and deltas" are similar to that they are both "formed by weathering".
