What is the impact of erosion and sedimentation on aquatic resources?
Erosion and sedimentation can negatively impact aquatic resources by reducing water quality, disrupting aquatic habitats, and impairing the health of aquatic organisms. Excessive sedimentation can smother aquatic plants and animals, clog fish gills, and degrade breeding areas. It can also increase the turbidity of water bodies, reducing light penetration and affecting the growth of aquatic plants.
