← HistoryWhich outcome was avoided best by Mughal garden water management techniques?
A)Soil salinization due to evaporation✓
B)Structural damage from freezing water
C)Uncontrolled vector-borne disease spread
D)Pietra dura inlay dissolution
💡 Explanation
Increased evaporation under dry conditions caused salt build-up in the soil because shallow water tables draw salts upwards through capillary action. Using qanats avoided capillary action, therefore limiting topsoil salinization rather than freezing issues or disease through a different mechanism.
