← HistoryWhich risk increases when water supply fluctuations affect the hydraulic system of a Mughal garden's chadar?
A)Increased algal bloom occurrence.
B)Uneven distribution of laminar flow.
C)Accelerated pietra dura delamination.✓
D)Localized hydrostatic pressure increase.
💡 Explanation
Delamination is a risk because frequent wetting and drying cycles due to fluctuating water availability accelerates differential thermal expansion. Thus, the adhesive anchoring weakens between the decorative pietra dura and its substrate, rather than algal bloom in swiftly-flowing water or static pressure.
