    Explanation:
    • The Danube-Oder-Elbe canal intends to connect the three rivers Danube, Oder and Elbe. 
    • This will provide an alternate route of navigation from Black Sea to Baltic Sea and North seas.
    • Several hundred kilometres of artificial waterways would have to be built for the canal. In order to hoist freight ships over a low mountain range and overcome 250 metres in altitude, 70 locks would need to be constructed. 
    • However, several environmental organizations have raised concerns against the construction of the canal as it will increase risks of flooding.
