The lagoon "canals" are connected to both rivers and the city "canals" in the sense that the lagoon "canals" are often the continuation of rivers or city "canals". Two Examples:
- Fiume (River) Dese (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/27658040) and Canale Dese (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/398995928) - Rio dei Giardini (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/171899879) is a single way that is part canal and part nautical channel.
