Which factor decreases when levees confine alluvial river flow?

💡 Explanation

Floodplain groundwater recharge slows given levee confinement because it reduces lateral water spread; therefore, recharge diminishes rather than sediment transport increasing, because that stays high due to a stream power increase. The alluvial recharge is drastically lowered based on this imposed condition.
