When ancient Mughal gardens redirected water flow via raised channels, which outcome sometimes occurred because of improper settling?

💡 Explanation

Differential settling underneath some Mughal gardens induced uneven stresses. This created a STRESS CONCENTRATION in the stonework because the substrate consolidated differently, therefore subsidence cracked the relatively inflexible pietra dura inlays, rather than causing other water-related effects.
