← GeographyWhich hydrological outcome results when upstream channels experience increased thermal forcing?
A)Enhanced stream discharge rates downstream✓
B)Reduced surface water storage capacity
C)Decreased floodplain inundation frequency
D)Higher groundwater recharge rates locally
💡 Explanation
Enhanced stream discharge happens because the mechanism of snow and ice melt increases with temperature increases; therefore, runoff is rapidly routed downstream rather than local inputs, because soil infiltration does not have enough time.
