The above statement is false.
The speed of sound in air is about 300 m/s, and the speed of sound in water is about 1500 m/s. The speed of sound in water is much more than the speed of sound in air. So, the echo is heard sooner in water as compared to air. Hence, the statement is false.
The correct statement would be an echo is heard sooner in water as compared to air.
