That was the other major criticism of the project, but their silting
figures might well have been based on the free-flowing Yangtze and not
one that's dammed. That's going to decrease the waterflow upstream a
great deal as far as velocity goes, and its ability to carry sediment
downstream.

Explain to me how the waterflow upstream "knows" there's a reservoir &
dam waiting downstream..? Hydrodynamics, not handwaving, please.
