SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The flow regime of a waterway can alter when land use is changed and when river/stream banks are modified and realigned. Modified waterways often have steeper banks, lack riparian vegetation, and are prone to fluctuating water levels, and elevated flow.

Detailed explanation-2: -But the mixing of freshwater streams and rivers with salty ocean tides in a partly enclosed body of water-natural scientists call it an estuary-fuels some of the most productive ecosystems on Earth, and also some of the most vulnerable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Streamflow, or channel runoff, is the flow of water in streams and other channels, and is a major element of the water cycle. It is one runoff component, the movement of water from the land to waterbodies, the other component being surface runoff.
