← HistoryWhich process limits efficient water transport within Mughal garden fountains due to conduit encrustation?
A)Calcium carbonate precipitation✓
B)Algae photosynthetic biofilm growth
C)Iron oxide redox deposition
D)Silica polymerization accumulation
💡 Explanation
Calcium carbonate precipitation reduces the water flow rates inside pipes due to scale formation. This scaling restricts the cross-sectional area because dissolved calcium and bicarbonate ions exceed the solubility limit in the water, therefore leading to mineral deposition rather than remaining dispersed.
