Sedimentation at the base of dams reduces their storage capacity, limiting the amount of water they can hold during heavy rainfall. When sediment accumulation is significant, it can lead to a faster rise in water levels, overwhelming the dam's ability to manage excess inflow. This scenario increases the risk of flooding downstream, as the dam may release water to prevent overtopping, or it may fail if the pressure exceeds its structural limits. Consequently, effective sediment management is crucial to maintaining dam safety and flood prevention.
