Which outcome resulted from over-irrigation in ancient Sumer?

💡 Explanation

Crop yields declined following ancient Sumarian over-irrigation because capillary action transported subsurface salts to the surface soil. Salinization increased, damaging root systems, therefore yield reduction was likely, rather than improved filtration or biodiversity increases, which require different mechanisms.
