Which outcome results when improperly designed fjord hydropower dams impede sediment transport?

💡 Explanation

Intense downstream delta erosion accelerates because dams block sediment renewal via sediment starvation; therefore, the delta recedes rather than accretes normally. Upstream effects can happen, but delta erosion is the explicit nearshore consequence.
