There is no minimum velocity. If the temperature is below freezing point, the water will eventually freeze completely. The movement of the water makes the ice crystals small so they will not be noticed at first but, eventually, all the water will change to ice. This happens to Niagara falls.

Freezes too. It is very difficult for a canal to freeze because moving water is not likely to turn to ice
0 m/s (no motion)
100cm/s
plain water will freeze in winter causing engine trouble.
Sea water will not freeze.
10 centimeters/second
Normal velocity is between 0.4-1.0 m/s. Absolute minimum is 0,25 m/s and maximum should not exceed 1,5 m/s.
Water does not freeze instantly..
By definition, a canal is used to connect two bodies of water. The water in the canal comes from those bodies of water.
Yes and no. The water has to be replenished at the highest point of the canal and the water flows down the canal but only during the operation of the canal's locks.
if you add salt to water, it will freeze at a lower temperature.. i do not think it is possible at a temperature below zero degrees.
Water will freeze faster than salt water.
