Look at the Erie canal - what are the locks for ?


Does that still exist in operation ANYWHERE?
It used to go very near a house I once lived in in Ohio IIRC.
Buckeye Lake in Ohio was constructed to provide
some of it's water IIRC.

The Erie Canal, as in "... From Albany to Buffalo..." is still very much
in existence and functional. As it is entirely within the state of New
York, I am not sure how much water it would need from a lake in Ohio.

Looks like it was for the Ohio Canal, part of the
Ohio-Erie Canal System.
