I believe you may have misread what I wrote. I said gradual deterioration is easier to counter than that caused by a concentrated use of a waterway by (e.g.) traffic going to a big national event. In other words, normal usage makes maintenance much easier, and catastrophic failures easier to avoid. I did not say that current maintenance is adequate. That is a whole different topic.
