B)Saltwater intrusion poisons plant life
C)Increased humidity favors algae growth
D)Elevated pH ruins decorative mortar

Subsidence occurs because the reduced pore water pressure increases effective stress, causing soil compaction. Therefore, structures like fountains and canals suffer structural damage due to uneven settling, rather than water itself inherently poisoning plants or affecting pH.
