← HistoryWhich mechanism maximizes fountain jet height in Mughal garden water features when pumps fall short?
A)Venturi effect flow constriction
B)Hydraulic head pressure accumulation✓
C)Capillary action suction enhancement
D)Surface tension cohesive jet formation

Hydraulic head increases the pressure, therefore taller jets can spout from narrow outlets because the elevated tank stores gravitational potential energy, rather than relying solely on pump pressure limitations.
