Terminology

| Top
|
- Heavily used "backbone" parts of the canal network (T+M, SU, GU)

|
|
|
|
- Major Navigation Authorities (BW, EA)
- National, broad based organisations (IWA)
|
|
|
| High
|
|
|
|
- Major canalside developments (Gas St)
- Significant cruising destinations (Little Venice, Bugsworth)
- Very well known junctions (Old Turn, Autherley)
|
|
- Lesser known engineers with significant achievement (Edwin Clark)
|
- More technical terms that are less likely to be of interest to the casual reader (winding, gongoozler)
|
| Mid
|
- Other navigable and connected waterways
- Longer (>5 miles) disconnected and navigable waterways
- Very short (under 5 miles) navigable but disconnected canals which see appreciable traffic
- Less popular cruising rings (South, North Pennine)
- Disused canals that are likely to re-open within 10 years
- Disused canals that are historically significant or pioneering
- New waterways that are being actively pursued (Higher Avon, Bedford-MK link)
|
- Most other tunnels and aqueducts
|
- Particularly noteworthy locks (Richmond)
|
- Reservoirs that are of some particular note (Rudyard because it was once mooted that navigation would be routed that way)
- Noteworthy canalside buildings (Smethwick coal chutes)
- Most junctions
|
- Navigation authorities responsible for a single canal (Basingstoke Canal Authority)
- Organisations of more than just very local but less than broad significance (FM&C, RBOA)
|
- People of more than just very local significance (Outram)
|
|
| Low
|
- Derelict canals that will still be derelict in 10 years, and are not of special historical significance
- Very short (under 5 miles) navigable but disconnected canals which see very little traffic
- Rings that are named, but rarely form part of people's cruising plans (Outer Pennine)
|
- Structures on waterways that are rated as low importance
- Underbridge
|
- Most articles about individual locks
|
- Most reservoirs
- Obscure or little known canal junctions
|
- Defunct minor navigation authorities
- Organisations of minor or local significance (local canal society)
|
- People of minor or local significance
|
- Terms that are highly specialised
- Terms that are of limited geographical application
