    People change water environments in many ways, including draining areas of water to build structures, changing river flows, building dams and structures to control floods, and taking deposited sand from the ocean floor so ships can pass. Some of these changes, like building dams, cause erosion and deposition to slow down, while others may speed it up or cause other environmental effects.

    Changes to Water

    People change water environments in many


    ways. We drain areas of water. Then we build
    buildings in their place. We change the way
    that rivers flow. We build structures to stop
    floods. We build dams on rivers. The dams
    bring water to cities.
    Rivers deposit eroded soil and rock into the
    ocean. We take deposited sand from the
    ocean floor. We do this so ships can pass.
    Some of these changes cause erosion and
    deposition. Some of these changes slow
    down erosion and deposition.

    Identify Underline which changes


    you think people make that slows
    down erosion or deposition.
