← TechnologyWhich condition causes a progressive drop in water pump output in a deep well system?
A)Calcium carbonate scale deposition
B)Progressive aquifer drawdown decline✓
C)Increased motor winding resistance
D)Cavitation induced impeller corrosion
💡 Explanation
As pumping continues for prolonged periods, aquifer drawdown naturally occurs lowering the water table increasing head requirements since well depth remains constant. Progressive aquifer decline results in reduced submersible pump head which causes pump output lowering, rather than calcium deposition, winding/temperature inefficiencies, or erosion which are related to other mechanisms.
