Which consequence results when a water purification membrane experiences fouling?

💡 Explanation

Fouling causes a flux decline because pore blocking via **cake layer formation** increases resistance to flow, therefore water passage declines, rather than improving; increased flux declines are the outcome rather than membrane strengthening.
