It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! 5.39.217.76$ b% n5 ~2 d5 P- ~0 j
Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded5 T' \9 v5 o! M7 ]0 p+ ^, K

At 918 meters, it is the longest navigable aqueduct in the world.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。0 v: ?" m1 G9 J4 s" s" T$ Z1 h2 X; ^
The Elbe-Havel and Mittelland canals had previously met near Magdeburg but on opposite sides of the Elbe Ships moving between the two had to make a 12-kilometer detour, descending from the Mittelland Canal through the Rothensee boat lift into the Elbe, then sailing downstream on the river, before entering the Elbe-Havel Canal through Niegripp lock. Low water levels in the Elbe often prevented fully laden canal barges from making this crossing, requiring time-consuming off-loading of cargo.

Construction of the water link was started as early as in the 1930s but due to the World War 2 and subsequent division of Germany the work remained suspended till 1997. The aqueduct was finally completed and opened to the public in 2003. 9 S; |' C% B2 {& ^3 {
