Which outcome arose from reduced Tigris-Euphrates alluvial deposition in ancient canal systems?

💡 Explanation

Increased upstream erosion occurred because sedimentation reduced canal flow, implementing riverbed downcutting, a form of hydraulic Erosion (scour); the diminished flow meant the canal could not redistribute riverbed changes downstream, therefore focusing it locally, rather than depositing sediments across the larger region.
