Which undesirable outcome results from exceeding the settling basin volume threshold in ancient Roman aqueducts?

💡 Explanation

Debris deposition increases due to decreased flow velocity when the settling basin volume is exceeded because larger sediments are no longer adequately filtered via sedimentation, therefore, channel clogging starts, rather than pressure increases within the aqueduct's designed parameters.
