← GeographyWhich risk sharply increases when streamflow permanently diverts?
A)Riparian zone ecosystem collapse✓
B)Decreased aquifer recharge rates
C)Increased floodplain sedimentation yields
D)Amplified evaporative moisture transport
💡 Explanation
Riparian zone plant life relies on consistent streamflow; therefore, habitat collapses due to plant transpiration failure following water loss are guaranteed where plantlife exists, resulting from ecological succession, rather than the alternatives which depend on residual flows.
