All of the following are benefits resulting from the construction of the Aswan High Dam in Egypt except __________.

The Aswan High Dam controls the Nile’s floodwaters, provides irrigation water that supports more farmland, and generates hydroelectricity. However, the dam traps much of the river’s sediment, which would naturally replenish the Nile River Delta. This contributes to erosion and other environmental problems, so protecting the delta ecosystem is not a benefit.
