Which outcome increases near coastal freshwater streams during regional saltwater intrusion events?

💡 Explanation

Larger sediment deposition arises upon saltwater's interaction with freshwater; destabilizes colloids through ionic bridging due to electrolyte increase resulting in flocculation. This stream deposition rather than suspension occurs because increased electrostatic forces affect colloid behaviour; therefore, deposition is elevated rather than scour or sediment transport.
