B)Reduced evaporative losses under ground
C)Natural spring replacement completely fails
D)Improved seasonal monsoon groundwater tables

Sustained pressure allowed use of waterwheel-driven mills because *hydrostatic pressure* was regulated; increased flow rates were delivered at mills. Therefore, reliable power arose from steady groundwater pressure, rather than uncontrolled surface water.
