I have a solution. I have to prove my theory first, so be on the look-out for my research in the next few years.

I’d be interested to read it, even though I have no formal education on this subject. I find the potential, and inevitable, long-term consequences of dams fascinating, and would love to see potential solutions for transportation of the silt and sand to the beaches where they eventually end up. One academic paper I read stated that many of the coastal beaches are eroding from the lack of sand transported by the rivers because it is getting trapped by the dams. Rivers are amazing, I wish we had more rivers in the US that haven’t been dammed! The only river I’ve seen, in my life, that didn’t have a dam was in New Zealand and it was amazing.

Place a huge number of buckets all along with width at the bottom of the reservoir at various intervals to collect the sediments. Pull up the buckets when full. Empty them and place them back for the next round of collection. By this method desilting can be done daily to maintain the water level.

I've seen it with my own eyes. River channels are gone that were distinct, viewable structures. In 40 years I've seen miles of top-end lakes silted. Game fish can't nest and spawn in mud. carp and garr are OK.

I has an idea!. Do you know anchor ice! If I had a magic wand, I would command: "That mud(sediment) should rise to the surface of the water and go to shore." So our problem is solved. And here is a scientific problem that needs research: Mud(sediment) only floats when it is lighter than water, with only air and ice. The mud (sediment) is wrapped in ice, floats, flows to the gathering place, moves the ice onto the truck, waits for the ice to melt, we have dry mud on the truck, transported to the cropland. We will save energy if we make it in winter!

I have an idea, not tested but feasible I believe. a filtration channel at the mouth of the reservoir/dam. the water entering the reservoir will pass through this waterway in such a way the sediments will be distilled/separated from river basin leading to a water layer that contains more sediments and lower sediments. the sediment heavy water will be on the bottom layer and as it passes through the channel, a mechanism at the bottom of the channel will let the bottom layer sip through the channel bottom along a passage extracting it from the rest which flows into the reservoir.

Sedimentation would be better managed in a natural way. When there were millions of beaver dams sedimentation wasn’t as much an issue. Beaver ponds reduce sedimentation, and expand the water table. They also provide pristine wildlife habitat for migratory birds, and also other aquatic critters.
