	The International Canal Monuments List - Part I
		Canals needed to be able to rise out of one river valley and into the next (the Ling Chu left one river on the level and did not rise to a "summit level") in order to create networks able to facilitate the bulk carriage of cargoes across considerable distances.
		Deriving from Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries, sophisticated modern canal engineering was evolved in France in the 16th century, culminating in the Canal du Midi, arguably the world's greatest civil-engineering project since the constructions of the Roman period.
		As well as adapting to canal construction in an almost virgin wilderness, this was one of the first canals built for the new technology of the steam-powered boat, which could carry passengers and goods with greater speed, regularity, and comfort than any sailing or towed vessel and which could enormously increase barge tonnages.

	Shrewsbury Canal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The level of the Wombridge Canal was considerably higher than the Shrewsbury Canal and to overcome this the Shrewsbury Canal company had to build a huge inclined plane at Trench where tub-boats would be carried on rails from one canal to the other.
		The canal society did not object to this but between the inquiry and the start of construction the plans were changed and the road was built across the canal on the level.
		There is no canal bridge on the road today because the road was realigned in the 1960's, so you must look out for a group of buildings which are all situated on the north side of the road.

	Cape Cod Canal, Navigation, Navigation Regulations
		The canal, including approaches, extends from the Canal Station Minus 100 in Cape Cod Bay, approximately one and six-tenths (1.6) statute miles seaward of the Canal Breakwater Light, through dredged channels and land cuts to Cleveland Ledge Light in Buzzards Bay approximately four (4) statute miles southwest of Wings Neck.
		The district engineer or the Canal Manager from time to time will prescribe rules governing the dimensions of vessels which may transit the waterway, and other special conditions and requirements which will govern the movement of vessels using the waterway.
		The canal is open for passage to all adequately powered vessels properly equipped and seaworthy, of sizes consistent with safe navigation as governed by the controlling depths and widths of the channel and the vertical and horizontal clearances of the bridges over the waterway.

		Fredericktown: Fredericktown was not on the canal as the village lay north of the Beaver Creek and the canal to the south, however a covered bridge was built across the creek and it became very much a canal town.

	John F. Stevens
		A yellow fever epidemic, followed by the unexpected resignation of the first Chief Engineer, John F. Wallace, made the Canal Zone a scene of chaos and hysteria, and threatened the security of the Canal program, then still in the experimental and development state.
		The Canal job was assigned on February 18, 1907, to the United States Army, in the person of Colonel (later General) George Washington Goethals.
		He was presented the John Fritz Gold Medal on March 23, 1925, for "great achievements as a civil engineer, particularly in planning and organizing for the construction of the Panama Canal; as a builder of railroads, and as administration of the Chinese Eastern and Siberian Railways." The Hoover Gold Medal was given him in 1938.

	Llangollen Canal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is regarded as the first major civil engineering work undertaken by civil engineer Thomas Telford (though his designs were subject to approval by the more experienced canal engineer William Jessop).
		The Ellesmere Canal was intended to provide a route from coalfields and ironworks near Wrexham to the sea.
		The canal's most notable features include the spectacular Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, an aqueduct engineered by Telford to carry the canal over the valley of the River Dee east of Llangollen (the Dee also supplies the canal with water, taken from the weir at the Horseshoe Falls, about three miles west of Llangollen).

	Thomas Steers - Canal Engineer
		This regiment was present at the Battle of the Boyne and also served in the Low Countries, being involved in the sieges of Huy and Namur before returning to England after the Peace of Ryswick in 1697.
		Neither Sorocold nor Huss agreed to become the dock engineer, perhaps they were too involved in the construction of the Derby Silk Mill to undertake the work at Liverpool.
		He was approached to be the engineer for the Newry Canal in 1729 at which he replied that his fee would be 100 guineas per month which was not accepted [15].

	The Hindu : Andhra Pradesh / Cuddapah News : Ryots picket KC Canal engineer's office
		Nearly 300 farmers besieged the KC Canal Deputy Executive Engineer's office at Mydukur on Thursday, in a half-naked protest, demanding maintenance of the Minimum Drawal Down Level (MDDL) of 854 ft. at Srisailam reservoir, scrapping of G.O. No. 69 and release of water to KC Canal.
		They demanded closure of the last vent at Sunkesula reservoir and removal of obstructions along the KC Canal in Kurnool, to facilitate water release to the ayacut.
		Disputing the claims made by leaders of Krishna delta that paddy alone could be raised in the area, they urged the Government to ensure sowing of `dry paddy' crop which could withstand water deficiency.
