← HistoryIn Mughal garden fountains employing pietra dura, which consequence appears when the water's mineral content spikes?
A)Nozzles vibrate excessively
B)Inlay surfaces erode rapidly
C)Water spray pressure increases
D)Blockages form within the pathways✓
💡 Explanation
Pathway blockages result from mineral precipitation (scaling); this is due to changes within the saturation index of calcium carbonate inside the fluid pathway. It happens because the solubility of Calcium carbonate decreases in water, therefore stone pathways constrict, restricting nozzle waterflow, rather than erosion which is comparatively slow.
