Water flow rate decreases dramatically when several fountains operate simultaneously at the Shalimar Bagh gardens. Which mechanism explains this?

💡 Explanation

The observed pressure drop indicating reduced flow uses the principle of hydraulic head loss because increased flow through supply channels result in more frictional losses. Therefore, less pressure remains in each fountain, rather than flow dividing equally causing decreased height.
