← HistoryWhich consequence increased risk resulted in Mughal garden water systems when aqueducts experienced sedimentation?
A)Reduced pressure at the termini✓
B)Increased algae growth in channels
C)Localized structural support failure
D)Amplified thermal shock to masonry support
💡 Explanation
Reduced pressure results because increasing deposit volume obstructs flow, causing pressure loss throughout the system by increasing viscous friction rather than supporting surrounding stonework or inducing temperature fluctuations as only water volume itself matters here, therefore pressure decreased.
