My only concern over Canalside is that the canals bursts its banks and Canalside ends up looking like New Orleans. I hope the club have invested in some sandbags for when the inevitable happens. Might bring the likes of Charlton etc down to our level

Canals are not fed by tributaries like rivers so there is zero chance of the canal bursting its banks. I hope that clears up your concerns over the flood risk potential.

Yeah, but they are fed by the rivers that are fed by tributaries.

Truth is I've SEEN that particular canal flood and break its banks right over the tow path in the far corner of Leeds Rd playing fields that you can see from the road.
(Quite regularly... More than once a year I'd guess)

The playing fields are prone to flooding, they always have been, poor drainage and heavy rain. I might well be wrong though.

AFTER ALL THAT HAS BEEN POSTED TOWN OR NOT FOR SALE AND DEAN OWNS CANALSIDE WHICH I THOUGHT EVERYONE NEW. SO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS I DONT KNOW TALK ABOUT MAKING MOUNTAINS OUT OF MOLEHILLS.

If needed they can be fed by small feeder reservoirs, there is one at Marsden which feeds if necessary but as far as I'm aware, the Broad Canal doesn't have one of these, although it is connected to the Narrow Canal, which does, that answer your question on canal water supply?

I blame global warming You're not allowed to call it that anymore because the earth isn't warming - you've got to call it climate change.

How do you know so much about canals? Just do....anything like that, engineering projects, big infrastructure projects I find quite fascinating. I have the ability to soak up vast amounts of useless info too. We also used to live near the canal growing up, so, with living near it and it being a 'playground' you kind of wonder why its there and how it works.

You normally find a canal where you find a weir on a river. The reason canals were built in Britain was simply to supply an alternative bypass route for boats to re join the river below the weir itself unless they fancy sailing going over the weir. The only time river water enters a canal is if the lock gates are opened , and that can cause flooding on the canal route if the river water feeding the canal is not under control when in flood and running fast.

Well i think this thread sums up DATM and it's posters perfectly,
Club For Sale = Club not for Sale = Who owns the shares = Who owns Canalside = Dean has told lies (Not my opinion i might add) = Do canals flood.

These are rivers, which are natural, weirs are used to tame the rivers power, used to control the river, its discharge, stop it flooding.

The canal is at a higher level than the Calder and water doesn't run uphill, so it certainly ain't feeding it. Sorry to bust in on this canal thread!

The calder and hebble canal was build "only " as an alternative route for working boats to avoid weirs. The height difference is controlled by a clever invention called a lock gate. .

We also used to live near the canal growing up, so, with living near it and it being a 'playground' you kind of wonder why its there and how it works. No wonder you get frustrated with the entertainment value at Town when you could be at home reading about engineering and infrastructure projects. In fact, why don't you ask Tog if we can have 'Art and Infrasture' at halftime. If it goes well, we could then tease the crowd with a promise of 'Art and Engineering', but not tell them when this would be. People will be flocking in, just hoping they get the right week.

But if at every intersection between canal and river, the river is on lower ground, how is the river feeding it? Earnest question here.

Cooper bridge for starters, at every lock* the barge is lowered to river level innit? edit: *specifically at points where the canal intersects with the river, obv not every lock.
