Description |
English: British Canals in Wartime- Transport in Britain, 1944 A view of a reservoir at Daventry which feeds the Grand Union Canal. This reservoir is used as one of several special catchment areas along the canal, necessary to maintain water levels at the higher points of the canal. A series of dry winters has left this reservoir quite low. According to the original caption, it normally holds 6,470 locks of water. Each pair of boats which goes up or down in a lock uses one lock of water: 5,600 gallons. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
