What's the point of the locks? o_ o

@LCfoxes The water in the lock will empty until it's level is the same as the the canal. It's not pumped out it just uses gravity. The clever thing is that you can't open the gates until the levels are equal.

The British and French canal systems need more Falkirk Wheels to get rid of those horrible locks.

@bmxconnor09 You can buy them from any canal boat shop, or of the internet.

Nice video, thanks.
What happens if you let too much water out?
Is it possible to get stuck at the Bottom of the lock, or can the water only be emptied so far down?

@LCfoxes The water can only be emptied so far.

I wish there was one with instructions on how to do it single handed.
