Which outcome can occur when the Arcade Aqueduct experiences compromised mortar?

A)Increased hydrostatic pressure within the channel
B)Reduced sedimentation within settling basins
C)Lateral thrust and archway destabilization
D)Elevated dissolved minerals due low flow

💡 Explanation

Water permeating weakened mortar joints creates increased lateral force; therefore, archway destabilization begins because hydrostatic pressures overcome the structure's integrity via lateral thrust, rather than from direct vertical load.
