← GeographyWhich outcome results when lahars overwhelm flood control structures?
A)Downstream sedimentation drastically increases✓
B)River channel avulsion probability decreases
C)Levee integrity is statistically reinforced
D)Aquifer recharge rates consistently accelerate
💡 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.
