This is because the silt deposits on the riverbed, making it shallower. This can cause the river to split into multiple channels, or to change course altogether. This can have a number of negative consequences, such as flooding, erosion, and the loss of land.<\/p>\n<p>Option a) is incorrect because Assam does not have a problem with water scarcity.
