Which flow regime change arises when high evaporation rates decrease freshwater stream discharge into saline estuary environments?

💡 Explanation

A density differential forms down stream where evaporation causes downstream decrease in fresh water because greater salinity leads to higher density, causing stratification rather than changes in biomass, hyporheic flow or turbulence specifically.
