Which risk proportionally increases as Roman aqueducts' total drop height rises?

💡 Explanation

Larger height differences promote faster water flow during siphon operation, therefore increasing water hammer risk because inertial forces become greater. This impulse pressure problem scales non-linearly with velocity, rather than mineral, ice dynamics, settling rates alone.
