Answers
Hey., here is your answer.
Seasonal Character: Rivers and canals cannot be operated for transportation throughout the year as water may freeze during winter or water level may go very much down during summer.
Unreliable: The inland water transport by rivers is unreliable. Sometimes the river changes its course which causes dislocation in the normal route of the trade.
Unsuitable for Small Business: Inland water transport by rivers and canals is not suitable for small traders, as it takes normally a longer time to carry goods from one place to another through this form of transport.
Slow Speed: It is a slow means of transport. Failure of monsoon results into fall in the water level of rivers making navigation difficult

In waterfalls having much drafts ,water transportation does not works.
Special maintenance for water tightness of boat is required.
Hope it help you
