Solution
Factors affecting inland waterways in India are :
- The rivers and canals do not have a regular flow of sufficient water.
- Rivers of South India are seasonal and are not much suited for navigation due to the presence of waterfalls, cataracts and sharp bends in their course.
- Silting of river beds reduces the depth of water and creates problems for navigation. Desilting of river beds is a way costlier affair.
