Lake Mead, situated about 40 kilometres (25 miles) from Las Vegas has a huge surface area of 640 square kilometres (247 square miles) and provides water to Nevada, Arizona, California and Mexico.

The Murray is the longest Australian river by some way, but at almost 1500 kilometres (930 miles) long, the Murrumbidgee isn't exactly short. It is a tributary of the Murray and flows through New South Wales. In the Aboriginal language of the area, murrumbidgee means "big water".

Answer: Birmingham

Birmingham, but only by a small margin. While Venice has 42 kilometres (26 miles) of canal, Birmingham beats it with 56 kilometres (35 miles). Birmingham was the hub of the UK's canal network when barges were a primary form of transport and while you won't find The Bridge of Sighs or The Doge's Palace there you can get romantic whilst passing The Museum of Coffin Making or The Malt House pub, where President Clinton sat on the balcony and enjoyed a pint in 1998.
