The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway stretches along the southeast coast. One of the routes built along the
waterway was the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal. At first, the water in this canal was not deep enough for
large ships. Soil and fallen trees had to be removed. Steam dredgers were used to dig out the bottom of the
canal. This made the water deep enough for the larger ships. Shipping traffic increased in the canal once larger
ships could pass safely.

Answer:

A shallow

Explanation:

Something that is described as shallow is "of little depth". The initial description given of the canal is that of a body of water that  was not deep enough to allow the passage of large ships. To solve this problem of the canal being shallow, dredgers had to be used to reach the bottom of the canal, thus increasing the depth of the canal.

After this was done, an improvement was seen in the increased number of ships plying the canal water body.
