History

Which consequence results when the aqueduct's pozzolanic concrete lacks sufficient binder?

A)Decreased hydraulic head develops along sections
B)Reduced flow rate lowers water supply
C)Increased hydrostatic pressure causes bursts
D)Elevated sedimentation accelerates channel blockage

💡 Explanation

Reduced binder leads to increased porosity because hydraulic resistance increases due to permeation rather than direct structural collapse, therefore the aqueduct experiences a lower flow rate, rather than head loss from friction, bursting from high pressure, or sedimentation problems.
