Which outcome occurs when the pressure within a qanat decreases during drought?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing pressure within a qanat reduces water flow due to decreased hydraulic head loss, a mechanism leading to diminished irrigation capacity; therefore, crop yields suffer, rather than increased benefits like aquifer recharge which helps maintain water flow.
