← HistoryWhich consequence occurs when Roman aqueduct outflow surpasses demand?
A)Increased sedimentation within distribution pipes✓
B)Reductions in supply reservoir water levels
C)Aqueduct structural hydrostatic stress increases
D)Accelerated mineral deposition within channels
💡 Explanation
Sedimentation increases because reduced flow velocity causes particulate matter to settle; therefore, pipes clog, rather than hydrostatic stress or reservoir changes developing, because the aqueduct system has overflow mechanisms regulating pressure/volume.
