← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when the garden subsurface irrigation channels of Mughal Agra experience siltation on hot days?
A)Decreased hydrostatic lift in fountains✓
B)Increased capillary action upward
C)Enhanced evaporative cooling effects
D)Uniform mineral distribution within soil
💡 Explanation
Reduced water flow leads to decreased fountain hydrostatic pressure, because siltation narrows the channel cross-section, increasing flow resistance. Therefore, fountain heights diminish, rather than increasing capillary action in the soil, because that process happens independently.
