← HistoryWhich consequence occurs when sections of Mughal garden `charbagh` water channels settle unevenly?
A)Pietra dura erodes quickly
B)Inefficient hydraulic head develops✓
C)Evaporation losses are minimized
D)Central fountains become over-pressurized
💡 Explanation
Uneven settling reduces flow because it interferes with hydraulic head (change in height dictating flow); irregularities disrupt laminar flow needed for gravity-fed systems. Therefore, hydraulic head inefficiency happens, rather than fountain pressure increasing/losses minimizing, because gravity feed depends slopes being precise.
