Can a river flow into a canal?
Canals often have rivers as their source of water. So it could be said that there is water flowing from a river into a canal. A big river may not necessarily empty itself into the canal, but some small rivers could do so.
Why were canals important in the 1800s?
Because at the time the steam boat was built and that made trade by water much easier. The U.S was trying tomaximizethe rivers and lakes to that the boats could get around and Canals were a HUGE help in this process. (expanding West)

Why did people build medieval towns near rivers?
Until the rise of rail transport, by far the cheapest form of transport was by water - rivers, canals, lakes and seas.
Why are canals dangerous?
because the canals boats go though and you could die
Irrigation allowed what to be farther from rivers?
Irrigation allowed agricultural activities to be farther from rivers, as water could be transported to fields through canals and pipes. This helped decrease the pressure on river resources and enabled cultivation in arid areas.
Why did railroads become more important than canals?
Canals have significant drawbacks over railroads. Railroads can be run to wherever the materials, goods, or market are, whereas canals have geological constraints (best following an existing river, unworkable in mountainous terrain, going over hills requires either deep cuts or locks/dams/lakes/rivers). Also, railroads were much faster to operate than canal boats, making them preferred not only for cargo but also passengers.
What canals use the lock system?
The canals that had hills so they could get up the hill so mostly all of them :)
Why did Mesopotamians build canals?
The Mesopotamians built canals because they need a way to water there plants and they need a way to control there river flows
How did the Mesopotamains learn to control the flow of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to suit their own need?
They dug irrigation canals and ditches. They then added gates and dikes so that they could use the water to nourish their crops without flooding.
What could happen to canals and rivers in the winter time?
In winter, canals and rivers can experience freezing temperatures that may lead to the formation of ice on their surfaces. This ice can obstruct navigation and impact local ecosystems by altering water flow and temperature. Additionally, reduced water levels due to evaporation or drainage can further exacerbate these effects, potentially harming aquatic life and disrupting recreational activities. In some cases, the ice can also create hazards for both people and wildlife.
How did better roads and canals lead to more industrializtion?
Better roads and canals meant that goods could be transported more easily and quicker.
