← HistoryWhich mechanism led to the eventual failure of complex Mughal garden water systems?
A)Calcite deposition within concealed channels✓
B)Expansion contraction of lead pipes
C)Erosion to the brick canal linings
D)Freezing in shallow water features
💡 Explanation
Calcite deposition reduced water flow in the narrow, concealed channels because water rich in carbonates precipitate calcium carbonate. This resulted in eventual blockage, reducing hydraulic function, therefore affecting the gardens rather than erosion which mainly impacts open features.
