Which outcome results when extensive levee construction increases river flow velocity?

A)Aggravated downstream sediment deposition increases✓

B)Decreased overbank flooding during peak flow

C)Reduced river channel bank erosion risk

D)Enhanced aquatic habitat diversity locally

💡 Explanation

Increased flow velocity accelerates sediment transport; therefore, downstream deposition is aggravated because capacity increases due to increased kinetic energy exceeds transport capacity, rather than other effects that occur locally upstream.
