Increased risk of waterlogging appears when irrigation canals experience which form of hydraulic failure?

💡 Explanation

Silt deposition reduces the cross-sectional area and flow capacity, causing backups and irrigation overflows because the canal can no longer transport the designed volume of water; therefore increased waterlogging, rather than water loss, degradation, or blockage is the direct environmental effect.
