The correct answer is: a) Increasing agricultural productivity.<\/p>\n
The canal network in Punjab was developed to provide irrigation water to the region’s agricultural land. This increased the productivity of the land and allowed for the cultivation of a wider variety of crops. The canal network also helped to control floods by diverting excess water away from populated areas.<\/p>\n
Option b) is incorrect because the canal network was not primarily developed to control floods. However, it did help to control floods by diverting excess water away from populated areas.<\/p>\n
Option c) is incorrect because the canal network was not primarily developed to improve transportation. However, it did improve transportation by providing a means of moving goods and people along the canals.<\/p>\n
Option d) is incorrect because the canal network was not primarily developed to provide drinking water. However, it did provide drinking water to some people who lived along the canals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
