Canals are the lifeblood of societies all over the world. These waterways provide passageway for cargo while controlling water levels. But what structure keeps canals in place? Well, elevated trapezoidal structures parallel to the canals called Embankments constrain the movement of water outwards. Protecting embankments is core to keeping communities safe all over the world.
