← HistoryWhich irrigation outcome occurred most favorably when Sumerian canals underwent regular dredging?
A)Increased nutrient sediment deposition✓
B)Reduced water-borne disease spread
C)Accelerated soil salinization process
D)Enhanced hydraulic head equivalence
💡 Explanation
Increased topsoil deposition resulted because canal dredging removed silt buildup, enabling increased flows, therefore transporting nutrient-rich sediments to the fields, rather than disease control or desalinization, which rely on water filtering or altered evaporation techniques.
