Canal Talk

should a trident-gods eye canal start from the trident or the god’s eye?

The Godseye. 

When you’re building a canal, one of the trickier bits of engineering is that, until you’ve dug out the channel connecting the two ends and gotten the slopes, depth, and lining right, you need to keep out the water on either end, which usually involves building a temporary dam/levee on either end. This is especially the case if you’re building locks and gates which need to be put in place beforehand.

It’s a lot easier to do that with a relatively still body of water like the Godseye lake than it is with a river which has a current behind it.
