Aikawa-Tsurushi Gold and Silver Mine - Nishimikawa Placer Gold Mine: "Placer gold mining at the mining sites was implemented through 'Onagashi', or the great flow method, which involved separating the placer gold from the gravel by washing the scraped off surface of the gold deposit with bursts of significant amounts of water. The key elements of this mining method include a headrace, a channel with a weir and a sluice to divert and drive water to a reservoir where water was stored; a race where water would run to the mining site, where ore would have been accumulated; stone structures, huts or workshops for maintenance; and a tailrace to let water flow away."

Corbulo's Canal "The second canal has been firmly attested by archaeological excavation. It was built to connect the Rhine to the river Meuse further south, just behind the coastal barriers, to avoid the risks of a passage by sea. Its course has been recorded over a distance of at least 11 km ...Roman canals are extremely rare, and this excellently preserved example is a vivid illustration of the pains taken by the Roman army to improve the infrastructure of the river delta."

The Westerbeeksloot barge canal in Wilhelminaoord (...) was originally planned as a waterway. The Westerbeeksloot's main function these days is irrigation; due to low water levels, it can no longer accommodate shipping. The basis of the Veenhuizen component is formed by a straight main canal, the Kolonievaart, with six 'wijken', smaller perpendicular canals, at intervals of 750 metres.
