Detailed Solution

The above statement is incorrect.
The canal was used for various purposes. People used it for drinking water, washing, bathing and most importantly, irrigation. India's population was dependent on agriculture for their living. Industries were not present during those times because India was a colonial country of Britain. Peasants rely on irrigation through these canals because, in Punjab, agriculture depends on rain. These canals helped the peasants and reduced their dependency.
The correct statement would be the Canal Colonies, as the areas irrigated by the new canals were called, were settled by peasants in Punjab, not in the USA.
