<p align="left">Canals are watercourses constructed to improve and extend 
natural waterways . They are generally built to facilitate transportation, 
but from the beginning they have been used for many additional purposes 
including draining swamps , irrigating land for cultivation , and 
promoting economic development .</p>
<p align="left">Canals are often classified by the size of vessel they 
can accommodate . Some small local canals . which are able to float 
only 100- to 300-ton boats or small rafts of timber , may be only 
3 feet deep . Major barge canals generally range from 6 to 9 feet 
in depth , and some are as much as 10 or 12 feet deep . These canals 
can carry 1,350- to 2,000-ton craft . Ship canals are 25 feet or more 
deep and are capable of accommodating large vessels in the seagoing 
class.</p>
<p align="left">Canals may also be classified as either water-level 
or lock canals. Water-level canals do not vary in height along their 
courses . The best known of these is the Suez Canal , which is at 
sea level . Lock canals , which include most modem waterways , contain 
locks, or special devices for raising and lowering boats along their 
courses by changing the depth of the water . Each lock is a stretch 
of water enclosed by gates at each end . After a boat enters the lock, 
water is let or drained out until it reaches approximately the same 
level as the water ahead .</p>
