I need to know how they keep the water level regulated. I'm sure they pump the water into it some way. What is at either end? Seems to me that gravity is not your friend on a project like this. But then again... I'm no engineer.

Yeah, good one Buster.
 capnhowdy, I believe one end is the same level as the canal system and the other end has 2 locks to drop to the level of the other canal system.

For those of you with Google Earth installed, here are what I THINK are the coordinates: <52.2310791033, 11.7016471392>. Looks like it's still under construction in this satellite photo...
