Question
History

Which consequence resulted from inadequate sediment trapping within the Mughal-era Shalimar Bagh water channels?

A)Silting reduced fountain jet heights
B)Evaporation led to increased salinity
C)Piping eroded the pietra dura
D)Algae blocked the 'chadar' cascades

💡 Explanation

Silting reduces the Mughal fountain jet heights because hydraulic head decreases due to the increased flow resistance from sediment accumulation which reduces the input pressure; therefore, jets weakened, rather than salt accumulation or algae blockage, these related instead to water chemistry or direct biological growth.
