Increased erosion and undermining occurred during intense monsoon seasons because which pressurized water transport mechanism in ancient Mughal gardens failed?

💡 Explanation

Siphon action, used in some Mughal gardens to lift water against gravity depending on pressure differentials failed due to increased sediment load and back-pressure. Therefore undermining occurred, rather than retaining structural integrity due to proper maintenance, therefore other channel designs were more maintainable.
