Explanation:

- The sentence discusses how the operation of dams can lead to floods. When reservoirs become filled with sediment, their water-holding capacity decreases.

- Blank No. 2 requires a word that fits the idea of controlling water during heavy rains.

- Option 1: "restraint" suggests holding back water, not releasing it.

- Option 2: "collection" refers to gathering, which doesn't fit the idea of intensifying floods.

- Option 3: "release" accurately describes the controlled letting out of water from dams, which can lead to downstream flooding.

- Option 4: "liberation" is too metaphorical for the context of water management.
