← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when silting obstructed the water channels feeding a Mughal garden's charbagh design, reducing fountain pressure?
A)Decreased hydraulic head elevation✓
B)Increased evaporative cooling efficiency
C)Improved local soil pH balance
D)Enhanced structural stability of inlay
💡 Explanation
A build-up of silt directly reduces flow due to increased FRICTIONAL LOSSES exhibited in a complex water system. Reduced frictional losses affects the whole distribution system, because overall head is tied to available potential energy; therefore water elevation drops locally in certain areas, rather than increased cooling or improved soil pH balance.
