Canals
The inland waterways are mainly the canals from Britain's industrial past.
Latvia has numerous canals, but the most notable ones are part of its extensive river and lake systems. The exact number of canals can vary, as many smaller waterways may not be officially classified as canals. Major canals include the Daugava River Canal and the Lielupe River Canal, among others. Overall, Latvia's network of waterways includes a mix of natural and man-made channels that support transportation and irrigation.
