Which risk increased during the Han Dynasty's large-scale iron production for waterworks?

💡 Explanation

Rampant logging led directly to land erosion. The energy demands caused accelerated deforestation for bloomery fuel for smelting since iron production expanded; this runoff affected irrigation rather than reduced control or impure alloy use; therefore, deforestation risks rose, rather than the purity enhancing or siltation.
