Which outcome arises when ancient Roman aqueducts experienced excessive head loss?

💡 Explanation

Sedimentation occurs because reduced flow velocity diminishes tractive force therefore solids settle more easily in slow-moving sections, rather than remaining suspended due to higher flow regimes which cause erosion.
