Which limitation increased when medieval canal builders attempted to scale irrigation systems documented algebraically?

💡 Explanation

Sedimentation increased non-linearly with widened canals because turbulent flows mobilize more silt, thus algebraic models underpredicted maintenance. Desilting became imperative therefore, rather than managing lining stress, slope, or evaporation which scaled linearly.
