← HistoryWhich limitation arose when early Islamic irrigation engineers miscalculated water flow rates applying algebraic principles?
A)Aqueduct sedimentation rate increases
B)Canal wall erosion intensifies
C)Field salinization likelihood increases✓
D)Waterwheel efficiency acutely decreases
💡 Explanation
Incorrect flow calculations, stemming from algebraic approximations, lead to over-irrigation. This causes Water table elevation, therefore increasing salt deposition onto the soil's surface, impeding crop growth, rather than affecting structural integrity of works like aqueducts and waterwheels.
