← HistoryWhich effect arises when the Roman aqueduct's specus experiences significant scaling?
A)Decreased flow rate downstream✓
B)Increased structural wall pressure
C)Reduced sediment accumulation upfront
D)Elevated dissolved oxygen levels
💡 Explanation
Scaling narrows the channel, causing a reduction in the cross-sectional area for flow, because it increases hydraulic resistance; therefore the flow rate decreases downstream, rather than experiencing elevated oxygen as with turbulent systems.
