Within historic Mughal garden waterworks, which risk increases when seasonal silt accumulates beyond designed tolerances?

💡 Explanation

Fountain spray is reduced because increased sediment load elevates the overall system's Hydraulic Resistance. Water pressure dissipates across constrictions more readily closer to pumps; therefore fountain heights diminish, rather than stressing structures or stone decay.
