Which of the following is the incorrect statement? i. Cattle crossings also provide safety to cattle that are swept away by currents besides their usual function of helping the cattle to cross the canal. ii. A canal escape helps in supplying irrigation water to the downstream watercourses. iii. Bed bars are constructed in canals at the toe of the canal lining to prevent slippage of the lining.

Correct Answer: i, ii, and iii
Canal escape helps in removing surplus water from an irrigation canal into a natural drain. The cattle crossing are not of much use on canals carrying considerable water depths and for the ones who don’t know swimming. Bed bars help in desilting the canal section during its maintenance and indicate the correct alignment and bed levels of the canal.
