Which risk increases due to hydrostatic uplift pressure during prolonged aqueduct disuse?

A)Catastrophic structural arch barrel vault failure
B)Increased biological contamination vulnerability
C)Decreased material freeze cycle tolerance
D)Elevated risk heavy metal dissolution

💡 Explanation

Hydrostatic uplift occurs because external water pressure exceeds internal which generates an upward force. This mechanism, opposing the aqueduct's weight, can cause collapse, therefore structural failure becomes more likely rather than contamination or material degradation focused alternatives.
