Which consequence results when a municipal waterline reaches excessive flow speed?

💡 Explanation

Excessive flow speed causes a transition to turbulence, therefore increased pipe wall erosion happens because turbulent flow intensifies shear stress; rather than influencing pressure or oxygen, the increased speed triggers turbulence.
