Solution
Two reasons why canal and river transport is underdeveloped in India are:
- Seasonal Variation in Water Flow: Many rivers in India have irregular flow and become shallow during the dry season, making navigation difficult.
- Silting and Shifting Courses: Rivers often silt up and change their courses, which hampers the construction and maintenance of navigable waterways.
