← HistoryWhich consequence results when qanats supplying Mughal gardens encounter unexpectedly porous strata?
A)Piezometric surface lowers dramatically downstream✓
B)Inlay stone undergoes accelerated dissolution
C)Evaporation losses increase significantly
D)Sedimentation within the channels increases rapidly
💡 Explanation
Large scale hydraulic gradients form because of subsurface water volume losses when encountering permeable strata. This is hydraulic conductivity, therefore inducing a lower piezometric head rather than increased dissolution, sedimentation, or direct evaporation, which have other causes.
