What is the steepest gradient that a canal can be traversable without locks?

12 1 $begingroup$ For a civilization that depends heavily on canals for transportation, what limits are there on how steep canals can before they flow too fast to traverse? I know that barges were normally pulled by animals upriver, if winds were unfavorable, so would the maximum slope of the canal depend on how strong the beasts of burden are? It would be neat to be able to calculate the slope in like meters dropped per kilometer in a general sense. transportation rivers share | improve this question edited 1 hour ago smci 179 8
