This is because the blood travelling at the afferent arteriole will have a lower blood pressure.
Explanation:
If the blood pressure is low at the afferent arteriole then the hydrostatic pressure pushing the fluid through the glomerulus will be low. Less fluid will be filtered thru due to the low blood pressure.
