Which statement best describes a negative effect of human activity on Africa’s waterways?

Dams control and change the natural flow of rivers. This can disrupt the movement of sediment and increase erosion along riverbanks or downstream areas, so “Dams have changed river flows, which has led to erosion” best describes a harmful effect. Irrigation can contribute to water shortages, but it does not by itself mean rivers have caused droughts.
