History

Which 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.
