Dams across rivers can have a major impact on delta soils. Dams can restrict the flow of sediment, organic matter, and other nutrients that help to build up and maintain delta soils. When sediment is withheld from a delta, the soil begins to erode, leading to a decrease in the area of the delta and an increase in the salinity of the remaining soils.
In addition, dams can also reduce the amount of water available for agriculture and other activities, further reducing the productivity of the delta. Ultimately, dams can dramatically alter the structure and function of delta soils.
