Which hydrological consequence occurs when the shaduf (a counterweighted lever system) malfunctions within a historic Mughal garden?

💡 Explanation

Ornamental fountains cease water flow because the shaduf's primary function is water lifting, meaning that inefficient water flow directly hinders the fountain’s water supply. Therefore, fountains stop operating, rather than landscape erosion, eutrophication, or terracotta failures as direct initial effects of shaduf failure.
