Which hydraulic effect undermined large fountains at Mughal garden complexes despite meticulous canal levelling?

💡 Explanation

Poorer fountain display occurred because buoyancy acted against the submerged water's weight, reducing discharge via siphon effect rather than obstructions limiting flow in constricted regions; therefore, siphon effectiveness suffered because the total buoyancy overcomes the pressure differential.
