Answer
A
agricultural production drops
B
unemployment increases
C
agricultural production increases
D
demand for imports go up
E
new water sources are found

Explanation

Restricting water for agriculture means farmers have less water to grow crops, so agricultural production drops. Lower production can reduce farm work and related jobs, increasing unemployment. With fewer crops produced locally, demand for imported food goes up; production increasing or new water sources being found are not direct negative consequences of the restriction.
