What we really need is a system of devices or infrastructure that keeps the sediment suspended for the whole river until it gets to where we need it. Then divert.
Even just an increase of say 20% would be huge.

Or in all those areas upstream that are silted in where they are constantly dredging what if they put that dredge material in a barge and ship it down River and build land with it

If I recall correctly, the amount of sediment in the river is reduced from historical levels (by something like 30-50%, I think) because of the various dams and locks upstream, throughout the entire drainage.
So, there is also that in play.
