Which risk escalates in early aqueduct design where settling basins overflow during heavy seasonal rains?

💡 Explanation

Seasonal rains overwhelm settling basins, leading to enhanced sediment loading because the intended settling has not removed sediment before entering the aqueduct, therefore increasing abrasion, rather than pressure, bioaccumulation or material changes as primary effects.
