Canals

On October 29, 1956, Israeli armed forces pushed into Egypt toward the Suez Canal after Egyptian president jamal Abdel Nasser (1918-70) nationalized the canal in July of that same year, initiating the Suez Crisis.

The Israelis soon were joined by French and British forces, which nearly brought the Soviet Union into the conflict, and damaged their relationships with the United States. In the end, the British, French and Israeli governments withdrew their troops in late 1956 and early 1957.

Aqueducts were invented for use in sophisticated irrigation systems, and to supply water to royal bath houses. Remember that ancient aqueducts were invented long before plumbing and pressurized water systems.

Roman-style aqueducts were used to carry water across a valley to their capital city, Nineveh.

In Persia, a system of underground aqueducts were constructed, a series of well-like vertical shafts, connected by gently sloping tunnels. This technique:

1. taps into subterranean water in a manner that delivers water to the surface without need for pumping. The water drains relying on gravity, with the destination lower than the source, which is typically an upland aquifer.

2. allows water to be transported long distances in hot dry climates without losing a large proportion of the source water to seepage and evaporation.

MODERN aqueducts also do exist. In the United States, they supply the country's biggest cities. For example, Los Angeles California has water supplied via the Colorado River Aqueduct, and the California Aqueduct. Aqueducts are also used for transportation purposes to allow canal barges to cross ravines or valleys. During the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, aqueducts were constructed as part of the boom in canal-building.

At the time, Panama belonged to Colombia but was fighting for independence. When US officials struck a deal with Colombia for rights to the canal, their legislature refused to allow it. The US then approached the Panamanian rebels and offered their support in return for the rights to build and operate the canal. The rebels accepted the offer and the US ran operations to prevent Colombia from retaining control of Panama, leading to its independence.

Venice, Italy is probably best known for canals.

Indeed it is - the city is on a shallow lagoon. Surprisingly perhaps, also Birmingham and its conurbation in the English Midlands, and often stated as having as much if not more miles of canals than Venice. These were cut in the 18-19C to provide freight transport routes, and much of the network survives though now used for pleasure-cruising.

France had already started the canal , was bogged down, and had sold out its interests. The other site proposed was Nicaragua. Apparently Roosevelt decided that Panama was the best place to built it.

Cargo ,Passenger,Oil everyone uses the Suez Canal.Look at a World Map and You will quickly see why the Suez and Panama Canals are so popular.You have a choice of using the Suez or taking a long and expensive trip, around the continent of Africa.Same for those using the Panama Canal.South America is one big continent .You should find Yourself a Rowboat and check out My answer for Yourself ,just so You know that I know what I,m talking about.Bon Voyage,Don,t forget Your lifejacket.

The world's longest canal tunnel is the Rove Tunnel in France. The Stad Ship Tunnel in Norway is shorter, wider, and deeper.

It is how people got around on water from 1790-1855 which was known as the age of canals.

Yes and No.

It's in Egypt and built nearly a century before Israel existed. However, due to Egypt's belligerence towards Israel between 1948-1979, the Suez Canal was illegally closed off to Israeli shipping. In 1956, this prompted a war from Israel to acquire control of the Canal to offset the Egyptian blockade of the Straits of Tiran. In 1967, Israel conquered all of the Sinai Peninsula up to the Suez Canal, which was only ceded back to Egypt in 1979.

Mr Richard Nelsonburg was the constructor.
