Which consequence accompanied seasonal flooding tolerance when Ur's canal junctions failed?

💡 Explanation

Increased silt deposition raised the channel beds because sedimentation occurred during peak flow exceeding canal capacity due to cross-junction weakening increasing sediment transport. Silt created maintenance challenges, therefore undermining irrigation rather than creating stability, even when managed by aqueducts.
