There is generally a confusion between Canal and Channel. Actually in laymen language both term are interchangeable but technically there is a lot of difference between Canal and Channel. Canal is artificial channel for water. Also,

* Beds and Sides of Canal are artificially constructed.

* It can lie at the crest of topography

* Its cross sectional width is under practical construction constraints.

* These are of two types - Aqueduct (Delivery of water) and Waterway (navigable transportation) While Channel is natural water body for surface flow.

* Only Sides of Channel can be artificially constructed, in case required.

* It generally lie at trough of topography.

* Its cross sectional width is under natural development of area.

* In Indian Language (Hindi) we refer it as 'Nehar'.
