Canals. Why don't they flood?
2 Answers
Seems a really stupid thing to ask, but why is it that canals don't flood?
Is there a run off e.g. like on your sink at home?

Canals also have run offs to rivers or streams. Canals often run near rivers and streams, and again they have a run off that takes water into the river or stream.
Here is a picture of one near a lock.
