Which risk increases when constructing large impermeable structures upon an alluvial plain?

💡 Explanation

Increased channel avulsion becomes more likely because impermeable structures block natural porous alluvial deposition processes that mitigate change by distributing floodwater and sediments; therefore, avulsion potential increases rather than decreasing sediment or increasing recharge.
