Due to the Euphrates high silt content in Mesopotamian canals, which outcome developed without regular dredging using the Archimedes screw?

💡 Explanation

Reduced irrigation results because sedimentation causes reduced flow, and the blockage decreases the canal width; therefore, irrigation declines, rather than flooding, because blockage slows the water, not increases its volume, altering canal composition.
