Which consequence results from inaccurate approximations during medieval Islamic hydraulic system design?

💡 Explanation

Qanat capacity reduces because estimating gradients hinges on algebraic approximations of terrain; imprecise slope calculation reduces flow rate. Therefore, algebraic error impacts water delivery, rather than physically damaging system components.
