Canalization (water management)

Canalization in water management refers to the process of designing and constructing channels, such as canals or pipes, to efficiently guide and control the flow of water. This method helps distribute water for irrigation, flood control, urban supply, or drainage by directing water precisely where it's needed, minimizing waste and preventing damage. Through canalization, natural waterways are often rerouted or reinforced to improve consistency, safety, and resource management, ensuring reliable water delivery and reducing the risks associated with unpredictable water behavior.
