← HistoryDuring Mughal garden construction, which cascade outcome results when the water table drops below aqueduct inlets?
A)Sediment loading increases significantly downslope
B)Fountain spray height diminishes erratically✓
C)Leaf litter accumulates around controls
D)Pietra dura detachment accelerates gradually
💡 Explanation
Fountain spray diminishes due to decreased hydrostatic head because reduced water supply causes diminished energy available, thereby lowering fountain pressure, rather than changes in sediment, litter or pietra dura which are less directly coupled to the immediate water level reduction.
