← HistoryWhich consequence results when an early Roman aqueduct experienced significant settling?
A)Reduced flow rate develops quickly✓
B)Accelerated algae growth occurs then
C)Aqueduct structure freezes rapidly
D)Drinking water poison concentration increases
💡 Explanation
Reduced flow arises because differential settling changes the aqueduct's channel slope; sedimentation causes blockages. Increased friction limits water delivery rather than algal growth or freezing because the primary issue lies with reduced water head causing decreased conveyance.
