Which problem commonly occurred when Euphrates river levels fluctuated in Sumer irrigation canalscirca 3000 BC?

💡 Explanation

When river levels fluctuated, lower water velocity reduced sediment transport capacity because settling velocity exceeds flow velocity, increasing siltation. Therefore canal siltation results, rather than salinization, collapse, or evaporation, which depend on alternative mechanisms involving water properties and structural integrity.
