Which consequence results when excessive evaporation occurred in Mughal garden water systems?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil mineralization occurs via capillary action because as water at the soil surface evaporates, water containing dissolved minerals flows upwards via capillary from below, leading to mineral deposition and increased concentration. Therefore, the soil becomes more mineralized, rather than experiencing a higher animal population, greater intake or changed structural properties.
