| + | The waterways of the city are used by many people for many purposes. Some travel along the rivers as it is quicker, or apparently safer, than the roads. Some use it to trade while others live on it such as those who comprise the floating market. They are however a vital part of the city and were the waterways to become unusable there would be a lot more than just thirsty people to worry about. | ||

| Mostly the canals sit at ground level, although at each junction of river and canal there is a way of moving from one to the other. The river’s flow is forever uninterrupted and so the Canals have many and varied ways of ensuing traffic can move from one to the other. Often the canals flow in aqueducts over the river with strange contraptions that move boats up and down between the two waters. Sometimes there are a series of locks that allow movement across the river. In one case the northern canal meets the river for the first time and there is no barrier, no lock, just open water between the two but still the river and the canal never mix – kept from mixing by some strange old magic now long forgotten. | Mostly the canals sit at ground level, although at each junction of river and canal there is a way of moving from one to the other.
