← HistoryWhich mechanism allowed Mughal garden water systems to function despite variations in surface elevations?
A)Hydraulic head pressure compensation✓
B)Sophisticated filtration of organic matter
C)Extensive use of siphoning canals
D)Centralised steam-driven pumping stations
💡 Explanation
Mughal gardens used hydraulic head pressure compensation, using elevated tanks and aqueducts to maintain consistent pressure irrespective of elevation changes because the water's potential energy is converted. Therefore, flow persisted; rather than only siphoning or steam power, which were unavailable.
