Effect of Impoundment and Diversion on the Sediment Budget and Nearshore Sedimentation of Southern Indian Lake [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Shoreline erosion added an annual average of 4 x106of mineral sediment per year (post-impoundment area, 2391 km2) during the first 3 yr of impoundment. The extensive nearshore clay aggregate deposits are temporary, and net deposition in these areas will change to net erosion when input of sediment from eroding shorelines ceases. The effects of shoreline erosion on the lake's sediment regime will persist for decades.-from Authors
