Which outcome arises when sediment loading increased in a Mughal garden canal system?

💡 Explanation

The decreased hydraulic radius occurs because sediment accumulation reduces the flow area; higher surface drag creates higher channel friction and less efficient flow. This reduces the canal's capacity, rather than increasing laminar behavior due to turbulence or improving the canal structurally, therefore the radius decline happens.
