Correct Answer - Option 4 : alignment of dam

Explanation:

Stream load:

  • Stream load is a geologic term referring to the solid matter carried by a stream.
  • Erosion and bed shear stress continuously remove the particles which are transported by water either in suspension or as dissolved.

​It primarily depends on-

  • Nature of the soil in the catchment (as rocks generally don't dissolve, but small earthen particles get dissolved)
  • Topography of the catchment as the more the slope more the velocity of the water.
  • The intensity of rainfall as more rainfall leads to more runoff, thus increasing the sediment carrying capacity of any stream.
