Which risk increases when seasonal silt deposition reduces Mesopotamian canal flow capacity?

💡 Explanation

When silt reduces flow, irrigation becomes less efficient because water tables rise as MORE is diverted to compensate, bringing deeply buried salts to the surface, leading to soil salinization. Therefore salinization rises, rather than fracture, overheating, or algae, requires alternate mechanisms.
