← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when Mughals optimised water supply for formal gardens?
A)Reduced erosive power of headwater✓
B)Increased fountain pressures further
C)Improved garden irrigation timing uniformity
D)Minimized seasonal waterlogging events
💡 Explanation
Raised aqueducts and cisterns, employing hydraulic head reduction, created gentler flow using GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY because this energy dissipates excess force. Flow reduction mitigates erosion rather than directly timing irrigation; therefore A, not alternatives, is correct.
