Very interesting to see such a row of locks. What is the reason to have more than one (well two locks in fact)?

Well each lock can only raise the boat by about six feet, so if there is a steep hill, a flight of several locks are required. I guess the Netherlands is too flat for more than one lock to be necessary!
