← HistoryWhich destructive result was avoided by Mughal gardens through integrating qanats?
A)Soil salinization from capillary action✓
B)Reservoir bank instability from piping
C)Erosion increase runoff sedimentation
D)Aquifer collapse lowered water table
💡 Explanation
Qanats prevented soil salinization in Mughal gardens, introducing water gradually; therefore, the water table remained stable rather than resulting in capillary action transporting dissolved salts to the surface because qanats mitigated rapid evaporation that draws salts upwards.
