canals
Locks regulate them
Canals are artificial waterways constructed for navigation, irrigation, or drainage.
The Panama and Suez canals connect major bodies of water, shortening shipping routes.
Smaller canals irrigate farmland or drain wetlands.
In anatomy, a canal is any tubular passage: the ear canal, the spinal canal.
The city's canals froze over in winter.
