Which consequence arises from a reduction of aqueduct slope?

💡 Explanation

Water deposition begins prematurely if the aqueduct slope is decreased, reducing its flow velocity. The reduced flow causes settling, this deposition increases hydraulic roughness. This occurs because of decreased tractive force, therefore sediment fall-out, rather than continuous scour.
