← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when the pressure within a qanat decreases during drought?
A)Reduced agricultural irrigation capacity✓
B)Increased aquifer recharge rate
C)Improved water infiltration in fields
D)Optimized drainage in terraced farmlands
💡 Explanation
Decreasing pressure within a qanat reduces water flow due to decreased hydraulic head loss, a mechanism leading to diminished irrigation capacity; therefore, crop yields suffer, rather than increased benefits like aquifer recharge which helps maintain water flow.
