Some canals are lined with brick, stone, or concrete to keep the water【C11】______ soaking into the mud. This also permits ships to go at【C12】______ speeds, since they cannot make the banks fall in by【C13】______ up the water. In small canals with mud banks, ships and barges (大平底船) must【C14】______ their speed.
