Yes. I live in an area of central CA that has irrigation canals and every summer people drown in them because of the currents and cold water. Plus, things are thrown into the canals so they can be very dangerous if you land on one of them or get snagged on something. Cars, washing machines, old tires, grocery baskets, tree branches, and other things are often found in the canals. Yet, every year dozens of people are pulled out the canals and rivers here despite the warnings.
What else can I help you with?
What are Currents powered by wind called?
Currents powered by wind are called wind-driven currents or wind-driven circulation. These currents are created by the friction between the wind and the surface of the water, causing the water to move in the direction of the wind.
What currents can move sand from one place to another?
Longshore currents, rip currents, tidal currents, and wave action are some of the main currents that can move sand from one place to another along coastlines. These currents can transport sand along the shore or offshore, influencing beach erosion and sediment deposition in different areas.
How does the wind affect ocean currents?
Wind can impact ocean currents by transferring energy to the surface of the water, causing it to move in the direction of the wind. This creates surface currents that can influence the direction and speed of deeper ocean currents. Strong winds over a large area can lead to the formation of powerful currents, such as the Gulf Stream.
How friction is involved in the process of creating currents?
Actually charges could be created by rubbing two different insulating bodies resulting in charges at rest.These type of charges come under Electrostatics which can be also called as Frictional electricity.
Difference between cold and warm currents?
Warm currents are warm whereas cold currents are cold. Warm currents flow from the equatorial regions towards the polar regions whereas cold currents flow from the polar regions to the equatorial regions. By- Avyukt Sharma
Do canals have currents?

How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
What are deep-ocean currents caused by?
under water tornados
What category of science would Ocean Currents be labeled under?
Oceanography.
What is the difference between surface and deep water currents?
The energy that drives the movement of the water
How many canals are there in Andorra?
how many canals in spain
Under what conditions is the sum of the currents zero in star connected load?
yes
How are canals useful?
Canals are waterways
Tiny canals connecting lacunae?
The tiny canals that connect the lacunae are the canaliculi, the larger canals are the Haversian canals.
Do canals go underground?
The purpose of a canal is to provide a waterway for ships to pass through. A canal that went under
Why were the height of canal boats low?
To have clearance under the many low and immovable bridges built over the canals.
What is the role of density in turbidity currents?
Density's role is to push the cloudy turbid water under the less dense surrounding water to start the turbidity currents
