Some more of the Falkirk Wheel.

it is very unique.. but when they want to link two waterways, why don't they make a canal ? I thinks it is cheaper by cost unless they want to make it a tourist attraction..

Because there is significant height difference between the 2 canals(Falkirk wheel),or they dont want them to be linked(like near Magdeburg)

As RawLee said. Sometimes the Canal may cross a river that is not a shipping lane, so they would not want to connect them together. Water in shipping canals has to be carefully regulated.
