A canal is an artificial waterway
constructed for drainage, irrigation, or
navigation. Irrigation canals carry water for
irrigation from rivers, reservoirs, or wells,
and are designed to maintain an even flow of
water over the whole length. Navigation and
ship canals are constructed at one level
between locks, and frequently link with
rivers or sea inlets to form a waterway
system.
