14. They were for storm drainage. The water pumps would pump..

rain water out of the streets and into the canals, so they weren't used for transportation (the other canal, the Intracoastal Canal, is used for transportation).

I don't think the average citizen thought about lake water being "blown" into the canal by strong northerly winds and vastly increasing the volume of the canal, and thus applying a great deal more pressure to those walls.
