Cokanal

Cokanal is a term that refers to a specific type of canal or waterway. While the exact etymology and historical usage may vary, it generally describes a channel that is intentionally constructed or modified for a particular purpose, such as irrigation, transportation, or drainage. In some contexts, "cokanal" might be used to distinguish these artificial waterways from natural riverbeds or streams.

The construction of cokanal systems often involves significant engineering efforts, including excavation, embankment building, and the management of water flow. These projects have played a crucial role in the development of many civilizations, enabling the expansion of agriculture, facilitating trade, and supporting urban growth. Examples of such engineered waterways can be found throughout history and across the globe, from ancient Roman aqueducts to modern inter-oceanic canals. The term emphasizes the artificial or engineered nature of the watercourse.
