← HistoryWhich outcome resulted in Mughal gardens when the Qanat system silted?
A)Reduced pressure at distant fountains✓
B)Increase in hydrostatic locking failures
C)Saltwater intrusion into nearby wells
D)Overgrowth of invasive hydrophilic species
💡 Explanation
Reduced pressure, which therefore disrupted the intended grandeur because silt buildup within the channels of the Qanat conduits decreases the hydraulic head available at the outlets due to increased friction, rather than causing saltwater intrusion as alternative subsurface disruption.
