What can excessive water pressure result in during irrigation?

Excessive water pressure during irrigation can lead to mist formation. When the water pressure is too high, it can create smaller droplets of water that are fine enough to be carried away by the wind before they reach the ground. This mist can result in inefficient irrigation, as less water will actually reach the intended plants or soil, leading to uneven distribution and potential wastage. Correctly managing water pressure ensures that water is delivered effectively and efficiently, benefiting plant health and conserving resources.

The other options do not accurately represent the consequences of excessive water pressure. Enhanced spray coverage, improved design, and faster water absorption would typically not occur as a result of high water pressure, making them less relevant in this context.
