← HistoryWhich irrigation demand risk increases with wide shadier tree canapies covering historic Mughal garden water channels?
A)Decreased evaporation from channel flow
B)Increased water uptake by tree roots✓
C)Reduced channel algae photosynthetic rates
D)Enhanced channel sedimentation and blockage
💡 Explanation
Increased tree coverage leads to increased water uptake through plant transpiration, which results from increased root surface area, because trees compete with designed irrigation targets; therefore, less irrigation will be delivered downstream rather than optimizing designed visual effects.
