    I live in the Netherlands, they still transport lots of cargo via canals. It’s one of the cheapest ways to transport heavy freight like cement. The canals connect to rivers so the barges can travel up the Rhine or Meuse to Germany . Canals aren’t just the waterways inside the cities.

    Also a €7BN mega canal is currently under construction in Europe https://youtu.be/VdWQQ1OCUPo
