Water management | Moving grain


 Canals are super important in a lot of countries. They’re used for all sorts of things like farming, moving goods, and even for fun activities. 


Take the Netherlands, for instance. They have thousands of kilometres of canals, which help with water management and transportation, especially in cities like Amsterdam


Then there’s Venice, Italy, where the canals are famous for getting around the city. The Grand Canal is the biggest and a must-see for anyone visiting. 


In Egypt, the Nile has branches that create canals for irrigation, which is key for farming in the area. 


The U.S. has the Erie Canal, an old-school waterway that connected the Hudson River to Lake Erie, helping with trade since way back in the 1800s. 


And let’s not forget about China’s Grand Canal, which is the longest in the world and was built mainly for moving grain. It holds a ton of historical and cultural significance.
