← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from decreased water supply influencing the Persian wheel irrigation systems during the Mughal Empire?
A)Increased crop disease susceptibility
B)Localized soil salinization increases✓
C)Enhanced pietra dura craftsmanship
D)Improved well construction efficiency
💡 Explanation
Decreased water supply resulted in increased localized soil salinization because increased evaporation led to higher salt concentrations in the topsoil due to capillary action. Therefore, soil salinization increased, rather than crop disease, craftsmanship improvement, or construction efficiency, because the mechanism is focused on evaporation.
