Which outcome results when the Qanat system fails?

A)Salt accumulation into arable soil
B)Increased water flow inefficiencies exist
C)Structural integrity maintains stability always
D)Controlled temperature water gets heated quickly

💡 Explanation

Failure causes water tables to draw upwards by capillary action, causing evaporation at surface, a process termed capillary rise; crystallization then occurs. Salt accumulation occurs because of the *capillary action*, therefore salinization results rather than other hydraulic effects.
