La Pente D'eau

by Oso

Instead of a lock system, the boat enters the area in front of the 2 engines, a barrier is then lowered and the boat & water is then pushed up the incline to the next higher level.

Amazing? Er, no, not compared to lifts like Falkirk or Anderton. Falkirk really is amazing.

Falkirk Wheel

But it's a clever, cheap, and simple to install system, so deserves credit for that.

Thanks for posting.
