History

Which 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.
