We
will
take
a
closer
look
at
how
a
lock
is
filled
to
allow
a
barge
to
pass
from
upstream
to
downstream.
Principle
:
The
water
level
in
the
lock
is
raised
to
the
level
of
the
upstream
canal
so
that
the
barge
can
then
pass
through
the
lock.
The
lock
is
then
emptied
and
the
water
level
drops
to
that
of
the
downstream
canal.
The
barge
can
leave
the
lock
and
continue
downstream.
All
length
measurements
are
expressed
in
meters.
Note
h
the
height
of
the
water
level
upstream
and
x
the
height
of
the
water
level
in
the
lock.
These
heights
are
measured
from
the
lock’s
bed
(bottom)
.
(see
diagram
above)
.
When
the
barge
arrives
at
the
lock,
