← HistoryWithin the design of Mughal garden water systems, which increased consequence resulted from using unlined canals with silty water?
A)Increased sediment deposition✓
B)Decreased hydrostatic pressure
C)Plant root oxygenation
D)Diminished evaporative cooling
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment deposition occurs because of silt particle settlement arising from reduced water velocity in the unlined canals; this specific MECHANISM clogs distribution channels. Therefore, deposition increased, rather than pressure changes or plant benefits since silt smothers plants.
