The canal would serve as a means of transportation, exchange, and required a tremendous amount of planning and technology in order to build and maintain. This increase in transportation and more open access to trade fostered industry near the canal, growing a bigger business scene in the regions near the canal, as resources from the canal could be utilized. Some canals even powered water mills for power.
