Why was sit necessary to build the locks in the canal?
Locks are necessary to lift barges and canal narrow boats up or down through a series of lock gates. The water level at the start of a series of lock gates may be higher or lower than the water level at the other end of the lock gates. Without the retaining effect of lock gates, the canal would simply be dry in some lengths and wet in others.

When going through a navigational lock you should not enter the lock until what happens?
This is assuming you have to fill or empty the lock you have approached. The water-level has stabilised at the same in both lock and canal in the approach. In fact on manually-operated locks at least, you would not be able to open the gates until the levels are practically the same. And of course, if there is a boat waiting to leave the lock you wish to enter, you give it room to manoeuvre. If the gates are is open in your favour and there is no boat on its way out, then you simply take your boat straight in.
What raises and lowers the boat to the level of the water?
It is the locks in the canal. They raise and lower the water2 pairs of lock Gates are sited in a canal and act to separate the high water level from the low water level. These are large gates which are hinged such that they can be fully open or fully closed. They can only open when the water level is the same on both sides of one particular pair .This action is typically carried out manuallySluice gates are small gates which are built into all four lock gates . Water acting under the force of gravity will fill the space between each pair of lock gates. By selectively operating the sluices the water level between the 2 pair of gates can be exactly the same as the high water level or exactly the same as the low water level.The purpose of the system is to allow barges to be raised from low to high or conversely lowered from high to low. Obviously the barge has to be positioned between the pairs of gates when the water movement occurs.

How lock mutton?
A Lock is two gates in a canal a boat length apart. Traditionally each gate consisted of two half gates that met in the middle of the canal. Locks enable boats to climb or descend hills. If a boat is going downhill then both gates are locked and the space between them filled with water via a sluice or small tunnel. The upstream gate can now be opened to let the boat glide into the space between the two gates. The first gate is then closed again. Now the water can be drained from the space between the gates via a second sluice on the downstream gate. The boat will sink as the water empties. When the water reaches the level on the downstream side then the downstream gate can be opened for the boat to re-emerge. Job done.
