← HistoryWhich outcome results when the Ahupua'a system's 'auwai' fail?
A)Downstream erosion increases acutely
B)Salinization contaminates inland soils✓
C)Terrace waterlogged root rot occurs
D)Nitrogen toxicity prevents seed germination
💡 Explanation
Salinization occurs because the `capillary action` mechanism brings saltwater inland along dried channels when the 'auwai' water supply ceases in the Ahupua'a system; therefore, salty soil results, rather than erosion or water damage to inland agriculture.
