← HistoryWhich outcome results when Mughal garden water channels experience evaporative losses?
A)Salt precipitation damages pietra dura✓
B)Channel liners experience thermal bowing
C)Algae growth increases channel friction
D)Fountains exhibit increased water discoloration
💡 Explanation
Salt precipitation damages intricate pietra dura in these structures when minerals within the water concentrate and deposit via capillary action because the evaporative losses decrease the overall water volume containing the dissolved solids. Therefore, salts crystallize on surfaces, rather than remaining dilute, causing physical damage.
