What is the opposite process of reliction?

Reliction refers to the process where land is exposed due to the receding of water, essentially resulting in new land formation as water levels decrease. The opposite of this process would involve a situation where water levels rise, leading to the submergence of land that was once exposed. This can occur due to various factors such as natural water level fluctuations, climate change, or human activities.

During a water level rise, areas that were previously dry become inundated with water, which is the direct counteraction of the land being exposed through reliction. This relationship between reliction and rising water levels highlights the dynamic nature of aquatic boundaries and land exposure in surveying and environmental contexts.
