← HistoryWhich irrigation outcome occurred more readily around Mughal-era gardens built atop shallow inclines?
A)Decreased water flow to orchards
B)Increased sediment deposition in basin✓
C)Reduced hydrostatic pressure at fountains
D)Elevated evaporative losses from channels
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment deposition occurred because of reduced flow velocity via the settling mechanism on shallow slopes; therefore larger particles were being removed, rather than finer ones staying in suspension typical on steeper inclines.
