← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when using Fatehpur Sikri's original water systems?
A)Reduced aquifer levels near Agra✓
B)Localized flooding within the gardens
C)Erosion to red sandstone structures
D)Clogging of the persian wheel intakes
💡 Explanation
Reduced aquifer levels around Agra followed the city's abandonment. The evapotranspiration demands of the extensive Mughal gardens significantly lowered regional water tables because the supply drawdown exceeded natural recharge, therefore reducing the availability for sustaining the city rather than localized flooding.
