There are a number of powerplants that exploit the water from the 
Erie Canal. In Lowell Mass the canals still have locks but are rarely 
used except by the National Park Service for Maintaince boats and 
Chinease Dragon Boat festivals.(They have a Cambodian ethnic 
population that has festivals out teh yazoo each summer and fall). The 
locks are used to regulate water power to the Mills that use the water 
for power and heating and cooling.
