← HistoryWhich risk increased when elaborate stepped water channels within Mughal gardens encountered seasonal flooding?
A)Increased sediment deposition✓
B)Accelerated pietra dura cracking
C)Diminished garden fragrance
D)Reduced hydrodynamic stability
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment deposition was a risk because flooding carries silt, exacerbating siltation. Channels lost hydraulic capacity because increased SEDIMENTATION blocked flow and reduced the channel's volume; therefore sediment became trapped, rather than allowing flow, and causing channel blockage or physical damage.
