Which outcome results when a meandering stream's outer bank experiences persistent erosion due to shifts in groundwater flow?

💡 Explanation

Increased suspended sediment occurs because enhanced bank erosion adds fine particles; higher groundwater table increases pore water pressure, promoting 'fluvial entrainment', thereby mobilizing sediment into the stream channel rather than floodplain filtration.
