only lock keepers are normally found on canals, not rivers or brooks....maybe the water has just been drained away into the ground for a more sonic option

Doesn't look like much water soaked into the ground looking at all the cracks in the earth. The aquifers are so dry we could probably build housing estates down there. An underground canal network full of pretty red and green boats and smiley happy lock keepers...
