Correct option is (a) True

The best I can explain: Lining protects the canal section against breaches and bank erosion. On account of the high velocities in lined-channels silts are readily carried away. This reduces the annual expenditure for desilting.

Calculate the effective unit tractive force that causes bed load transportation if the unit tractive force produced by the flowing water is 3.20 N/m^2. The Manning’s coefficient on an unrippled bed is 0.0108 and the actual observed value of Manning’s coefficient on ripped channels is 0.0222. Take the value of critical shear stress that is required to move the grain particle as 0.5 N/m^2.
