Some rivers no longer reach the ocean due to a combination of factors, including dam construction, water diversion for agriculture and urban use, and climate change. Dams can impede natural flow and alter ecosystems, while water extraction reduces the volume reaching the river's mouth. Additionally, sediment buildup and changing landscapes can lead to rivers being redirected or drying up before they reach the sea. These changes can disrupt local ecosystems and affect communities that rely on the river for their livelihood.
