In Mughal garden irrigation at peak demand water tables dropped, which outcome resulted from exceeding percolation capacity?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil salinization risk occurs due to exceeding the percolation capacity because capillary action draws water, containing dissolved salts, upwards as evaporation exceeds rainwater infiltration; therefore, salts accumulate, rather than being flushed down, under high irrigation load.
