South florida is just a bunch of water highways

Canal - It’s a man-made waterway built to connect bodies of water. It’s used to allow boats inland/shortcuts, for transport, farming, or, what we really use it for here, manage drainage and flooding. Without them, the whole city wouldn’t have a way to get water out (not counting evaporation). Apparently, back then the water used to be so clean/clear people would just swim in them, not the case now lol. Cool piece of South Florida knowledge.
