Which outcome during a drought decreases water flow rates within a historic Mughal garden's canal system?

💡 Explanation

Increased sedimentation hinders flow rates because decreased water level lessens velocity, promoting settling; this deposition causes partial blockages, therefore reducing overall flow volumes rather than pure increased evaporation, declining pipe material strength or eutrophication alone.
