Which consequence commonly results when heavy rainfall overwhelms alluvial plain drainage?

💡 Explanation

Increased flash flood risk occurs because saturated alluvial plains experience decreased infiltration capacity, therefore surface runoff increases sharply during intense rainfall events, rather than contributing to gradual river flow increases or different salinity.
