I live near a system of lakes, connected by locks and rivers.

A few years ago there was strong rain, and they started to flood.

The city usually opens a lock, to let a larger lake drain into a smaller lake.

Only, there was so much sediment, it clogged up the lock!

Now the city needs to spend 10s of millions on dollars to drudge the lakes.
