Secondary-source excerpt (practice: irrigation): In an inland valley dependent on groundwater pumping for irrigated alfalfa, hydrologists document declining water tables and reduced baseflow to nearby wetlands during drought years. They note that efficiency upgrades (e.g., drip systems) can lower field-level losses, yet basin-wide depletion may continue if total irrigated area expands or if saved water is reallocated to new plantings. The authors argue that governance and accounting determine whether irrigation intensification stabilizes or further depletes aquifers.
The excerpt best illustrates which of the following consequences of the practice described?
