← HistoryDuring Mughal garden construction, which outcome resulted upon using lime mortar within underground water channels?
A)Waterlogging risk near structure increased✓
B)Quicker setting and stronger joints result
C)Reduced effectiveness of filtering influent
D)Sediment built up, obstructed flow
💡 Explanation
Increased water table occurred because hydraulic conductivity increases nearby due to the mortar’s capillary ACTION. Therefore, increased waterlogging occurs nearby, rather than improved flow, quicker setting time, or improved filtration, as those involve different material properties.
