Yes and no. The water has to be replenished at the highest point of the canal and the water flows down the canal but only during the operation of the canal's locks.

It depends on the canal.
Canals often have rivers as their source of water. So it could be said that there is water flowing from a river into a canal. A big river may not necessarily empty itself into the canal, but some small rivers could do so.
Increase in rainfall or snowmelt, leading to more water entering the river. Steeper gradient or slope along the river's path, allowing water to flow faster. Removal of obstructions such as rocks or debris that can impede the river's flow.
No, gravity does not directly cause rivers to flow. Rivers flow due to the force of gravity pulling the water downstream. The elevation gradient along the river channel allows the water to move from higher to lower elevations, creating the flow of the river.
true
The Amazon River has the highest volume of water flow.
Rains down south of the river flow into it and are carried along to the Mediterranean. The extra water causes it to overflow its banks.

yes the flow of water in a river is steady.
Electricity can be produced wherever there is water flow. Water flow is more intense than it is producing more electricity.
In a River Lift System, water is directly drawn from the rivers for supplementing irrigation in regions near the river. This system is adopted when canal flow is insufficient or irregular due to inadequate reservoir release.
