Hennepin Canal Lock 6

Crazy. It is amazing how much that canal affects watersheds in the area.  One of the few places with bridges that flow a river over another river.  What do they do now, continue to spend millions repairing levees or spend multi-million returning it to a semi-natural state.

What would be a semi-natural state? Assume it was originally created to join Illinois with Rock and maybe help with field drainage? Would it just start to dry up  like parts of the I&M? Does it still function as a water path between rivers/locks still work? Can probably google but just asking questions about feasibility of going backwards?
