Today, most countries in the world have canals. Some canals, such as the Suez or the Panama,【B1】ships weeks of time by making their voyage a thousand miles shorter. Other canals permit boats to reach cities that are not located on the coast.【B2】other canals drain lands where there is too much water, help or【B3】fields where there is not enough water.

This raised the level of the water in the lock【B18】it is the same as the upper level of water. Now the upper gates can be opened to【B19】the ship into the higher water. Some-times a canal contains a series of locks when the【B20】in levels is very great.
