Answer:

The stream becomes narrow and the water table becomes shallow as the number of pumps running is increased.

Explanation:

  • More number of pumps clearly means more amount of water is extracted from the river.
  • When the rate of refilling of the river is not as fast as that of emptying of the river, it is natural that the river would progress towards drying up.
  • Before it dries up, the stream (the size or the span of flow) becomes narrow and the water goes deep to expose the riverbed.
