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.

What if the Panama Canal locks weren't there?
then there would be a flood? No. The Canal has locks to raise ships to the level of Gatun Lake. This lake sit considerably higher than sea level where the ships begin transiting though the Panama Canal. Gatun Lake and it's connecting rivers are used as the main portion of the "canal" to transport ships (close to 30 miles). If you took the locks out, Gatun Lake would drain out. Aside from the environmental impact, that entire portion of the canal would need to be re-dug deeper so that ships can pass through the entire way at seal level.
