History

Which outcome results when Roman aqueduct gradients were miscalculated?

A)Flow reversal in the channel
B)Water hammer in pressure pipes
C)Sediment buildup inside canals
D)Aqueduct structural support damage

💡 Explanation

Sediment buildup occurs because reduced water velocity due to shallow gradients allows particles to settle via sedimentation, therefore constricting the flow path rather than maintaining optimal transport in steeper sections.
