← HistoryWhich outcome results when long qanats feeding Mughal gardens experience gradual sedimentation?
A)Decreased water delivery efficiency✓
B)Increased hydrostatic pressure downstream
C)Reduced evaporative cooling benefit
D)Expansion of upper-terrace plantings
💡 Explanation
Reduced water cross-section due to increased sedimentation causes decreased conveyance via reduced flow based on hydraulic diameter. Therefore, water delivery rates decrease, because friction losses in the channel increase rather than downstream pressure rising or impacting cooling because overall water volumes have dropped.
