Taking for an example the Panama Canal, the locks had one major purpose. They equalized the water level between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

they were built in the 10th century during the Song Dynasty (:
actually not all are constructed in v shape,, sometimes its u shape, somtimes its semi circular, usually v canals are used for ditch canals, or as temporary ditch. it is a dug up soil formed in v shape in order to create a canal for storm water. it was formed v on order to avoid the soil at sides of canal to erode
To make a canal, first, survey the land to determine the best route, considering factors like elevation and water source. Next, dig the channel, which may involve excavation and earthmoving equipment, while ensuring proper width and depth for water flow. After the channel is formed, reinforce the banks to prevent erosion and allow for drainage. Finally, connect the canal to a water source and manage the flow with gates or locks as needed.
Nagarjuna Sagar project is constructed on river Krishna.
With channel locks that saved workers about 10 million cubic feet of excavation.

Erie Canal has two heights. One portion is up to 566 Feet and one side 365 Feet from sea level. So locks are constructed to control the flow and for smooth sailing of boats.
The original Erie Canal had 83 locks. The canal was improved and the number of locks went down to 72 locks. The canal was improved again and now there are only 35 locks.

Locks are only needed when the ships need to be raised and lowered in altitude because of the terrain the canal crosses.
A group of joined locks on a canal is called a lock flight. This term refers to a series of interconnected locks that allow boats to be raised or lowered to navigate changes in water levels along the canal.
No locks on the Suez Canal
