← HistoryWhich functional consequence arises when the Persian water wheel 'noria' output exceeds a pre-determined supply rate?
A)Sediment concentration risk increases
B)Algae concentration risk increases
C)Erosion risk to the aqueduct increases✓
D)Water salinity concentration increases
💡 Explanation
Erosion risk increases because rapid water flow above the aqueduct's material tolerance initiates hydraulic abrasion. Channel erosion is therefore initiated, rather than salinity change, because the increased flow energy overwhelms material durability.
