Which risk increases when hydraulic conductivity decreases within loess deposits?

💡 Explanation

Decreased flux limits water movement within the loess. This inhibits consolidation by "solution and precipitation", because saturation causes rapid sediment pore collapse, therefore increasing the risk of collapsibility upon wetting, rather than enhanced stability.
