Which risk during periods of high sediment load increases where a river flows into a natural lake?

A)Accelerated delta formation upstream
B)Hypolimnetic oxygen concentration increase
C)Streambed erosion rate reduction
D)Reduced lake water clarity

💡 Explanation

Accelerated delta formation occurs because increased sediment supply enhances deposition at the river-lake interface through the progradation mechanism. This causes rapid sedimentation rather than maintaining lake volume. Oxygen levels decline, not increase, due to decomposition of organic matter.
