Regulatory Requirements: Depending on your location, there may be regulations and permits required for de silting. Ensuring compliance with these regulations is essential but may add to the project's cost.
Follow-up Maintenance: After the desilting process has taken place, ongoing maintenance may be necessary.
Benefits of Desilting:
