Here is another lock from which the sandy fields were irrigated - about 150 years ago. The population in this area had suffered from poor soil in hardly anything to eat. That is why the canal was built back then.

The old locks on the Boker Canal have not been used for many decades.

Great old lock - it was used by the farmers to irrigate the sandy, barren soil!
