A barge is a flat-bottomed boat, built mainly for river and canal transport of heavy goods.

On the Great British canal system, the term ' barge ' is used to describe a boat wider than a narrowboat, and the people who move barges are often known as lightermen.

The barge and canal system contended favorably with the railways in the early industrial revolution prior to around the 1850s – 1960s for example, the Erie Canal in New York State is credited by economic historians with giving the growth boost needed for New York City to eclipse Philadelphia as America's largest port and city but such canal systems with their locks, need for maintenance and dredging, pumps and sanitary issues were eventually outcompeted in the carriage of high-value items by the railways due to the higher speed, falling costs, and route flexibility of Rail transport.

The Casiquiare is not a sluggish canal on a flat tableland, but a great, rapid river which, if its upper waters had not found contact with the Orinoco, perhaps by cutting back, would belong entirely to the Negro branch of the Amazon.

The Casiquiare canal – Orinoco River hydrographic divide is a representation of the hydrographic water divide that delineates the separation between the Orinoco Basin and the Amazon Basin.

This named outflow is the Casiquiare canal, which, as it heads downstream ( southerly ), picks up speed and also accumulates water volume.

The simplest description ( besides the entire area-floodplain ) of the water divide is a " south-bank Orinoco River strip " at the exit point of the Orinoco, also the origin of the Casiquiare canal.

However during the Orinoco's flood stage, that single, simply defined " origin of the canal " is turned into a region, and an entire strip along the southern bank of the Orinoco River.
