Question

State the problems of water transport in India.

Answer 1

Speed. Boats are incredibly slow

Navigability- Not all waterways are navigable to all ships. Some ships, for example, don’t fit in the Panama Canal, and instead have to go around the long way

Tides- Whilst a waterway may be navigable to a certain ship, it may not be during high tide. In extreme cases, ships can get stuck, and have to wait for high tide

Big ships and small boats have to share the same waterways. This is a safety issue, if one is not careful.
