← HistoryWhich issue threatens historic Mughal garden waterworks when facing uneven ground settlement?
A)Piping cracking, reduced water pressure✓
B)Aqueduct blockage, total flow disruption
C)Terracotta erosion, structural instability
D)Water pump cavitation, decreased throughput
💡 Explanation
Piping will crack inducing reduced water pressure via stress concentration because of the uneven support, thus impeding efficient water distribution downstream; therefore, pipes fail rather than pumps or aqueducts, whose problems involve distinct root causes.
