Can a river flow into a canal?
Canals often have rivers as their source of water. So it could be said that there is water flowing from a river into a canal. A big river may not necessarily empty itself into the canal, but some small rivers could do so.
Why were canals important in the 1800s?
Because at the time the steam boat was built and that made trade by water much easier. The U.S was trying tomaximizethe rivers and lakes to that the boats could get around and Canals were a HUGE help in this process. (expanding West)

Why did people build medieval towns near rivers?
Until the rise of rail transport, by far the cheapest form of transport was by water - rivers, canals, lakes and seas.
Why are canals dangerous?
because the canals boats go though and you could die
Why did railroads become more important than canals?
Canals have significant drawbacks over railroads. Railroads can be run to wherever the materials, goods, or market are, whereas canals have geological constraints (best following an existing river, unworkable in mountainous terrain, going over hills requires either deep cuts or locks/dams/lakes/rivers). Also, railroads were much faster to operate than canal boats, making them preferred not only for cargo but also passengers.
What canals use the lock system?
The canals that had hills so they could get up the hill so mostly all of them :)
Why did Mesopotamians build canals?
The Mesopotamians built canals because they need a way to water there plants and they need a way to control there river flows
How did the Mesopotamains learn to control the flow of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to suit their own need?
They dug irrigation canals and ditches. They then added gates and dikes so that they could use the water to nourish their crops without flooding.
How did better roads and canals lead to more industrializtion?
Better roads and canals meant that goods could be transported more easily and quicker.
Why was the plow so important to Sumerians?
because it helped farmers Another Answer: The Sumerians lived in the Persian Gulf area in Southern Iraq and South of there. Once a year the Tigris and Euphrates rivers overflow and leave a new layer of silt on the land. It was possible to drop seeds in this ground and grow crops. A lot of land existed real close on which almost nothing grew. It was low enough to build canals so that water could be brought to it from the rivers, but too high to flood and cover with silt. The Sumerians invented the plow so they could farm that land. Thus, the Sumerians built their irrigation canals and plowed desert land so they could grow crops.
Can you put insulation on basement windows?
You could friction fit some 3/4" Dow styrofoam on the inside frame during wintertime.
