Which consequence results when groundwater discharge exceeds recharge within lake basins?

💡 Explanation

Increased salt concentration happens because diminished outflow along with evaporation leads to concentration of dissolved solids through evaporative enrichment, rather than being flushed; therefore, playas may form, rather than remaining freshwater systems, or promoting diverse aquatic plant life.
