A canal lock is a structure that allows boats to navigate changes in water elevation on a canal. It consists of a chamber that can be filled or emptied of water to raise or lower a vessel between different levels. The number of locks in a canal system can vary widely; for example, the Panama Canal has 3 locks, while the Grand Canal in China has numerous locks, totaling over 20. Overall, the exact number of locks depends on the specific canal and its design.
