Which outcome limited the operational lifespan of the Saqqara Step Pyramid irrigation channels?

💡 Explanation

Salt accumulation reduces crop yields due to increased soil salinity via capillary action; this is called Salinization. It occurs because continuous irrigation without adequate drainage elevates groundwater, therefore dissolved salts deposit on the surface, rather than being carried away.
