Which mechanism causes scaling and mineral deposition within the Roman aqueduct channels, leading to reduced waterflow during long service?

💡 Explanation

Calcium Carbonate Precipitation creates scale, because dissolved minerals precipitate along the conduit walls leading to hydraulic diameter reduction therefore impeding flow rather than other effects due to fluid dynamics within the aqueduct like boundary layer or jumps.
