Which architectural problem arose when constructing symmetrical stepped wells in arid regions?

💡 Explanation

Uneven structural settling occurred because differing soil moisture around a stepped well leads to variations in soil compaction and therefore differential settlement. This impacts structural integrity, rather than affecting water efficiency or artistic design.
