Ever seen a river pass over a river? The idea
may strike you absurd, but such a thing
truly exists in Germany.


The Magdeburg Water Bridge is said to be
the longest navigable aqueduct in the
world, at 918 meters. While other existing
navigable aqueducts can fit only a few small
boats at a time, this aqueduct–a highway of
aqueducts–can accommodate large cargo
ships at the hundreds.


Built for the transport of goods of eastern
and western Germany, the Magdeburg Water Bridge is mainly a route for large commercial ships from the Elbe-Havel Canal to Mittelland Canal without having to make a cumbersome 12-kilometer detour using the original Elbe River route.


Without the Water Bridge, ships from the Mittelland canal have to descend into the Elbe River through the Rothensee boat lift, sail
downstream of the Elbe, and then climb out
into the Elbe-Havel Canal through the
Niegripp lock (see map below).


The low water levels of the Elbe had often hindered fully-loaded barges from passing this route, thus requiring the time-consuming off-
loading of cargo.


Construction of the aqueduct started as
early as 1930 but came to a halt during
World War II and the Cold War. It was only
after the reunification of Germany that the
construction once again became a priority. Work continued in 1997, and the Magdeburg Water Bridge was finally completed in 2003.

Funny enough, we have all the resources, they have little or nothing, they key on our greed and develop their own nations while we sit here fighting over Siera leone diamonds or Niger delta oil, pity.

However, I believe we will rise someday, with Nigeria taking the lead, I'm hopeful!

in my next life, i'll never be born in africa.

If there's a next life, what if Africa becomes the hub of civilisation and the West stays primitive?

Don't blame African Engineers where are the research institutes? blame it on African leaders which are good in nothing other than treasury looting.

I am sorry to say, Our engineers aren't ready for this yet, we can call engineers from Israel or Germany, look how Dubai built their 'wonders'

wtfCode:

Nothing my brother, and I'm sure you don't too, but I don't believe in it, I'm Team YOLO, so make the best of this one life, you may end up becoming richer than Dangote, don't you think so?
