← HistoryWhich outcome accompanied the redesign of early Mughal garden aqueducts that increased the settling basin height?
A)Reduced fountain-head water pressure needs
B)Diminished risk silt blockage downstream✓
C)Increased aesthetic flow laminar stability
D)Reduced need manual sediment dredging
💡 Explanation
Improved settling basin height promoted increased gravitational settling, which decreased silt load conveyed downstream because of increased particle residence time and collection efficiency; therefore, fewer blockages occurred, rather than increased head pressure needs or requiring manual dredging.
