Which condition occurring during medieval Islamic irrigation management resulted in water distribution inequities across farms?

💡 Explanation

When algebraic methods were used incorrectly, improper segment weightings occurred because of misinterpreting quadratic solution sets related to non-linear pressure-head-flowrate relationships across different canal segments. Therefore, water distribution inequalities arose, rather than errors from surveying instruments, sedimentation, or rainfall gauge inaccuracies which represent distinctly separate sources of error.
