Which risk increases when a Roman aqueduct's settling tank experiences turbulent inflow?

💡 Explanation

When turbulent inflow occurs, increased kinetic energy prevents larger particles from settling due to increased drag forces, thus reducing settling efficiency. Therefore reduced settling efficiency results, rather than algae bloom, scaling, or arch damage, which involve different chemical and structural mechanisms.
