Navigation canal

A navigation canal is a man-made waterway constructed to connect two larger bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, or oceans, allowing ships and boats to pass more easily and safely. These canals help improve transportation efficiency by providing a shorter or more controlled route, bypassing obstacles like shallow areas or rapids. They are engineered with locks, gates, and channels to manage water levels and vessel traffic. Navigation canals are essential for trade, commerce, and travel, facilitating the movement of goods and people across regions that might otherwise be difficult or slow to access by natural waterways alone.
