Answer: False
A waterway refers to a water body that can be used for the transportation by human population. These includes rives, oceans, lakes, estuary and canals. A waterway should be wide and deep enough to allow the movement of water transportation vehicles like boats and ships. Water transportation is responsible for contaminating the water of waterways. As, the water transportation vehicles releases residues of fuel in the water, which deteriorate the quality of water and makes it unfit for survival of aquatic animal and plant species.
Hence, excess to waterways should be reduced in order to prevent water pollution. Reducing access to waterways will lead to decrease in human impact on waterways.
Therefore, the statement reducing access to waterways will lead to an increase in human impact on waterways is false.
