Which type of lining is only used for lining the side slopes of the canal?

Which type of lining is only used for lining the side slopes of the canal? Correct Answer Dry Stone Lining

This type of lining is only used for lining the side slopes of the canal by proper placing and packing of stones, either after laying a filter paper or not, depending on the soil requirement. Therefore this lining does not help in preventing the seepage losses but helps to maintain the shape of the canal, hence reducing the maintenance cost.
