The infrastructure needed is now surprisingly inexpensive. Swipe cards etc. I accept that tolls aren't justified in most situations, because the marginal cost to BW of a boat navigating (e.g. a km of waterways) is just about nil. However, I believe they are justified where the water is supplied by backpumping, and where there is congestion (e.g. lock queues), as they will divert traffic to routes under less pressure as well as providing additional revenue.
