History

In Mughal garden irrigation at peak demand water tables dropped, which outcome resulted from exceeding percolation capacity?

A)Decreased aqueduct flow rates
B)Increased soil salinization risk
C)Reduced fountain operating pressure
D)Greater algal bloom incidence

💡 Explanation

Increased soil salinization risk occurs due to exceeding the percolation capacity because capillary action draws water, containing dissolved salts, upwards as evaporation exceeds rainwater infiltration; therefore, salts accumulate, rather than being flushed down, under high irrigation load.
