Canals are nothing like as smelly as they used to be: by encouraging factories that produce unpleasant effluent to be built next to waterways, not only will there be a return of the smells, strange coloured water and piled-up detergent foam that once characterised the canals, but there will be so much less canalside land available for expensive houses.
The canals that were dug here to avoid stormy Ladoga Lake add to the scenery of the place.

What irrigation canals have been built from these rivers or are being built for the irrigation of lands and which regions are those that are fertilized by them or can be fertilized and to which settlements they correspond.
Canals that were dug to water a larger expanse of land would often pass through another cities territory, and this city would simply tap off of this canal for the benefit of their own crops rather than digging their own canal system.
Most canals were built during the period of 'canal mania' between 1760 and 1830 to enable boats, drawn by horses, to carry goods.

Irrigation canals which had mines laid on the sides and bottom may have been deliberately filled in with bulldozers, burying the mines under a metre or more of soil.
