LA SANGRE TRANSPORTA NUTRIENTES Y LOS RÍOS SEDIMENTOS, NO LE ESTAMOS PREGUNTANDO AL RÍO SI NOS PUEDE DONAR SUS SEDIMENTOS
This policy brief argues for the systematic monitoring of sediment transport in Andean-Amazonian river basins as a critical climate change adaptation measure. It details how different types of sediment (wash load, suspended bed load, and bed load) support ecosystem biodiversity and how anthropogenic infrastructure—such as hydroelectric dams and dredging—can disrupt these natural balances, leading to environmental degradation and increased operational costs.
