Which feedback results downstream after artificial levee construction?

A)Increased bank erosion downstream
B)Decreased overall channel sinuosity
C)Reduced floodplain sedimentation rates
D)Diminished longitudinal stream flow

💡 Explanation

Increased flow velocity downstream causes aggressive bank erosion, where Lateral Migration has increased scour capability, because the levees confine flow. Therefore downstream erosion surpasses accretion rather than balanced levee-induced sedimentation, preventing meandering deceleration, or flow alterations.
