Feeder channel: noun. A man-made channel or natural watercourse to bring water to the canal from a nearby natural water source. Cities on water [ edit ] A canal ( Gracht) in Amsterdam, Netherlands Griboyedov Canal in St. Petersburg, Russia Aerial view of the man-made canals of the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Wharfs along the Oudegracht in Utrecht, Netherlands The modern canal system was mainly a product of the 18th century and early 19th century. It came into being because the Industrial Revolution (which began in Britain during the mid-18th century) demanded an economic and reliable way to transport goods and commodities in large quantities. Where does that love come from? Presumably from the love of God, as Kavanagh goes on to say that the banks and “green waters” are “pouring redemption” for him so that he does the “will of God”. The canal and its waters therefore are performing a kind of baptism for him, so that he is born again to see life anew as if for the first time.

Overview

The second choice for a Central American canal was a Panama canal. The De Lessups company, which ran the Suez Canal, first attempted to build a Panama Canal in the 1880s. The difficulty of the terrain and weather (rain) encountered caused the company to go bankrupt. High worker mortality from disease also discouraged further investment in the project. DeLessup's abandoned excavating equipment sits, isolated decaying machines, today tourist attractions. A wanderer can spend time in a natural place, or even a semi-natural one such as a bridge in the middle of a city, and feel closer to God. The bird builds its nest to the “beat” of God’s word as well as in reverence to God.

The International Canal Monuments List (PDF), archived from the original (PDF) on 10 August 2013 , retrieved 8 October 2008 A navigation is a series of channels that run roughly parallel to the valley and stream bed of an unimproved river. A navigation always shares the drainage basin of the river. A vessel uses the calm parts of the river itself as well as improvements, traversing the same changes in height.

A major question was how to connect the Atlantic and the Pacific with a canal through narrow Central America. (The Panama Railroad opened in 1855.) The original proposal was for a sea-level canal through what is today Nicaragua, taking advantage of the relatively large Lake Nicaragua. This canal has never been built in part because of political instability, which scared off potential investors. It remains an active project (the geography has not changed), and in the 2010s Chinese involvement was developing. On the ground floor, you will also find a large bedroom with its own cosy fireplace, built-in wardrobes and panelled ensuite bathroom, providing both convenience and comfort. In the Songhai Empire of West Africa, several canals were constructed under Sunni Ali and Askia Muhammad I between Kabara and Timbuktu in the 15th century. These were used primarily for irrigation and transport. Sunni Ali also attempted to construct a canal from the Niger River to Walata to facilitate conquest of the city but his progress was halted when he went to war with the Mossi Kingdoms.
