    Energy losses are due to resistance

    This is exactly why a military presence is needed. If the military can quell the resistance force fighting against the canal/waterway, then the energy losses from sabotage and theft would be minimized. A strong military presense is the only way to deal with this problem.

      Are you fucking with me? Specific resistance refers to the conductors, copper, aluminum, silver, etc. An amount is lost to to it, and over long distances it adds up.

        Yes. This is a NCD post about building a 200km canal through mountians. I understand that pumping water through a mountian range will not work to transport tanker ships.
