Looks like other canal authorities are having problems with water shortages.

And they don't have any locks that can be left with the paddles and gates closed on leaving, or chained up to save water.

As most of you know, Venice is often called the Birmingham of the South, despite having fewer miles of canals than its more picturesque Midlands counterpart.

Those near waterless canals do appear to be better dredged, however. Or maybe the tidal water keeps silt from settling as much.

Not a shopping trolley in sight. Are you sure it’s a canal.🤪🤪

They still have stoppages though. When I visited Venice there was a section stanked off and pumped dry so they could rebuild the banks.

Wouldn't the land sinking move the bottom of the canal further from the top?
