Which consequence results when the aqueduct's pozzolanic concrete lacks sufficient binder?

💡 Explanation

Reduced binder leads to increased porosity because hydraulic resistance increases due to permeation rather than direct structural collapse, therefore the aqueduct experiences a lower flow rate, rather than head loss from friction, bursting from high pressure, or sedimentation problems.
