How can a lock be used to move a boat from lower water level to higher water level?

First, the boat comes in to the first chamber. Water is released into the first chamber through the locks, causing the boat to rise up on the increasing water level. Once the water in both chambers is equal, the locks are opened. The boat sails through the locks and out of the second chamber. Finally, the locks are closed again, and the back gate of the first chamber is opened. Water levels are now back as they started, and the locks are ready to transport another boat.
