Which risk increases when a geothermal power plant exceeds designed water-draw limits?

💡 Explanation

Increased water drawdown causes higher mineral concentration causing mineral scaling, because solubility thresholds reduce; the mechanism is exceeding saturation. Mineral scaling restricts flow therefore reduces the engines effectiveness rather than boosting power that is a choice under different system states.
