BBC News published this video item, entitled “Heatwave forces canals to close across the UK – BBC News” – below is their description.
Canals across the UK have been forced to close, with the heatwave and a lack of rain said to be to blame.
In what is usually the busiest time of year on the waterways, partial closures are having an impact on the boating holiday and tourism trade.
The lack of water is also having an impact on those who live in houseboats, with some left unable to move.
