Which constraint impacts Roman aqueduct flow rates using a inverted siphon?

A)Available hydraulic head difference
B)Material compressive yield strength
C)Potential for sediment bedload transport
D)Groundwater infiltration rate

💡 Explanation

Siphons required precise elevation differences to initialize flow. A small hydraulic head difference limits flow because excessive head induces cavitation, causing flow disruption, thereby reducing water delivered, rather than other material failures being immediately pertinent.
