History

Which undesirable outcome occurred when the Mughal-era Shalimar Bagh gardens exceeded design capacity?

A)Reduced fountain water pressure
B)Pietra dura inlay cracked
C)Increased soil salinity
D)Erosion around the walls

💡 Explanation

Reduced fountain pressure resulted following excessive drawdown because static head available decreased in the gravity-fed system. This decreased head reduces available pressure and flow at each fountain nozzle, therefore the higher fountains failed, rather than an immediate salinity or erosion problem.
