Which outcome is observed when subsurface clay layers impede water flow?

💡 Explanation

Stream density increases due to impeded infiltration; this confinement forces surface flow (overland flow), therefore increasing channels exhibiting drainage density because the hydraulic conductivity dictates stream networks rather than altering sediment deposition dynamics.
