Question

All of the following are types of artificial river infrastructure, EXCEPT: Select one: a. levees b. dams c. flood walls d. riparian zones e. diversion canals

Answer 1

flood walls are human made... so are dams...

and diversion canals...

so its either levees or riparian zones. I know that riparian zones are the area between land and a river or stream.

Levees can be natural or man-made.

Answer 2

d. riparian zones

Step-by-step explanation:

• A riparian zone is an area that is found between the upland zone and the shrew lines and forms corridor between the water and the lands, these zones provide a distinct moist rich environment of the formation of the animals and the plant life and these are characterized by the diverse plant communities.

• This zone also tends to maintain the water levels and the temperature levels and at times protects from erosion.

• It also functions as the filtering of the runoff and the management of the stormwater and the control of the floods. And tends to provide a habitat for the formation of the plant and the animals, and thus form an integrity of the shoreline zone.
