Select the option that is appropriate regarding the following two statements labelled Assertion and Reason.
Assertion: A channel should be designed for a velocity that will neither deposit the sediment nor scour the bed and banks. This velocity is known as non-scouring and non silting velocity.
Reason: If the velocity of flow is too low, the sediment held in suspension will settle down; whereas, if the velocity is too high, the water will scour the bed and sides of the canal.
