Why did they repair and expand the grand canal?

All canals need to be maintained as they are man-made and subject to deterioration over time. Basically, most canals are little more than level wide trenches whose bottom and sides was lined with puddled clay to prevent water loss. Also, most canals are kept topped up from water kept in reservoirs linked to the canal. As to the Grand Canal, a search on the internet revealed that a lot of countries claim to have a Grand Canal - so a specific country would help. But, at a guess, as boats and small ships increase in size, and carrying capacity increased, so a 'Grand Canal' would need to be deepened and the banks widened.
