History

Which unintended consequence arose from the extensive use of cascading water features in the Shalimar Bagh Mughal garden complex?

A)Increased localized seismic activity
B)Accelerated deterioration of marble pavings
C)Disruption of regional irrigation canals
D)Enhanced habitat for malaria vectors

💡 Explanation

Accelerated deterioration occurs because the constant water flow causes capillary action leading to salt precipitation on the marble surface causing scaling; therefore the increased deterioration of the stone, rather than increased mosquitos influenced by stagnant water.
