Which limit worsens the power output when an urban district's geothermal plant exceeds groundwater recycling thresholds?

A)Higher turbine back pressure develops
B)Fluid temperature drops at inlet
C)Local faults trigger fluid release
D)Increased scaling blocks wellbore flow

💡 Explanation

Fluid temperature drops occur because exceeding threshold groundwater recycling reduces the heat available for phase change in the heat exchanger; therefore, lower temperature drive hinders turbine performance rather than the alternative back pressure increase with restricted flow.
