← HistoryWithin Mughal garden irrigation systems, which outcome resulted from water wheel inefficiency?
A)Increased silt deposition in channels✓
B)Uneven flow to upper terraces
C)Higher algae growth upstream
D)Decreased hydraulic head uniformity
💡 Explanation
Increased silt deposition arises because lower water wheel pumping efficiency reduces water velocity and increases sedimentation; therefore sediments accumulate upstream rather than proper irrigation, whilst other options address system imbalances.
