Within a Mughal garden's raised aqueduct system, which outcome is hastened when joints use simple mortar rather than interlocking terracotta pipes?

💡 Explanation

Increased evaporative water loss results, because the simple mortar is more porous and prone to cracking under thermal stress, increasing surface area for evaporation, rather than maintaining tight seals with terracotta, therefore minimizing losses.
