Hauling large loads by canals was easier than by roads primarily due to the reduced friction and resistance in water compared to land. Canals allowed for the transportation of goods using boats, which could carry heavier loads with less effort, aided by the buoyancy of water. Additionally, canals typically provided a more direct and smooth route than often uneven and poorly maintained roads, further enhancing efficiency and lowering transport costs.
