History

Which risk increased for Roman aqueducts built using travertine?

A)Increased scaling on channel surfaces
B)Reduced sedimentation of transported water
C)Decreased hydraulic head pressure loss
D)Minimized impact of seismic movements

💡 Explanation

Increased scaling rises because of carbonate precipitation due to prolonged water contact with travertine; mineral dissolution occurs at the surface boundary, therefore, the water's pH increases inducing encrustation issues rather than cleaner water.
