People needed to dig up a lot of ground to make them. Some were made obsolete by the railroad soon after they were constructed. Canals need a lot of water in order for the boats to sail on them. In the winter the water can turn to ice. In the summer, the water can dry up. Boats that are bigger than the locks of the canal can't use them.
