River Trent Navigation

The River Trent Navigation refers to the series of locks, bridges, and channels along the River Trent, designed to enable safe and efficient movement of boats and ships. Historically vital for transporting goods in central England, it connects with other waterways for wider trade. The system helps control water levels, prevent flooding, and maintain reliable navigation despite changing river conditions. Today, it supports commercial shipping, leisure boating, and ecological balance, making the Trent an important transportation route with ongoing maintenance and management to ensure safe passage.
