Which risk increases when effectively desalinating water via ancient terrace farming?

💡 Explanation

Increased desalinization increases irrigation effectiveness; however, the risk of topsoil erosion increases disproportionately because sheet flow erosion mechanism removes the soil, therefore erosion rate is greater, rather than sheet flow being controlled with traditional methods.
