Which outcome results when lahars overwhelm flood control structures?

💡 Explanation

Increased sedimentation occurs, because the carrying capacity overwhelms structures designed for regular flow, causing deposition of material. Enhanced transport capacity controls sedimentation, therefore, excess causes deposition rather than conveyance, aquifer changes or structural reinforcement.
