Search Results - Canal

Type in a word or phrase to search:

Canals are artificial channels for water. There are two types of canals water conveyance canals, which are used for the conveyance and delivery of water, and waterways, which are navigable transportation canals used for passage of goods and people, often connected to existing lakes, rivers, or oceans. For canals used for water supply, see Aqueduct.

Some canals are part of an existing waterway. This is usually where a river has been canalised making it navigable by widening and deepening some parts (by dredging and/or weirs), and providing locks with "cuts" around the weirs or other difficult sections. In France, these are called lateral canals and in the UK they are generally called navigations, and the length of the artificial waterway often exceeds the natural. Smaller transportation canals can carry barges or narrowboats, while ship canals allow seagoing ships to travel to an inland port (eg Manchester Ship Canal, or from one sea or ocean to another (eg Caledonian Canal, Kiel Canal).

At their simplest, canals consist of a trench filled with water. Depending on the stratum the canal passes through, it may be necessary to line the cut with some form of watertight material such as clay or concrete. When this is done with clay this is known as puddling.

Canals need to be flat, and while small irregularities in the lie of the land can be dealt with through cuttings and embankments for larger deviations, other approaches have been adopted. The most common is the pound lock which consists of a chamber within which the water level can be raised or lowered connecting either two pieces of canal at a different level or the canal with a river or the sea. When there is a hill to be climbed flights of many locks in short succession may be used.

11. Causes of Root Canal Disease
August 20, 2008

Root canal disease happens when the pulpy tissue in the tooth becomes damaged. This can be due to periodontal disease, extensive dental procedures or injury such as a blow to the mouth. When this tissue becomes damaged, it must be removed, the area disinfected, filled and sealed. The tooth can then remain and be used normally. Severe tooth decay is one thing that can easily lead to root canal disease. The decay, laden with billions of bacteria, gradually forces its way into the pulpal area of the tooth. This may cause much pain, but in some cases, no pain at all is felt. When a tooth is i... (read more)

August 20, 2008

The dinghy pool at the PYC(Panama Yacht Club) contains a variety of underwater obstacles to snag the unwary approaching tender.

On their second trip, one such of these catches our not so vigilant crew off guard – fortunately only metres from the dock – a quick glance over the side shows an ever increasing stream of air bubbles under pressure, racing to the surface(quite fascinating in other circumstances!) and a hasty retreat with paddles f...
