Taj Mahal's water channels used qanat technology; which outcome occurs when decreased aquifer recharge surpasses demand?

Reduced aquifer recharge causes decreased pressure, therefore diminishing water delivery within the qanat system due to reduced hydraulic head driving the water, rather than increased salt deposition which is caused by high evaporation.
