In Belarus we have many canals which redirect part of a river flow into another river and they are much larger than ditches but are not navigable. Also hen a stream is straightened you would call that a ditch, but when a river is straightened you would call it a canal.even if it is not navigable. So to say a canal can be any size but carring useful water.
