According to Professor Andrea Mechelli of King’s College London, canals and rivers contain not only water but also many different plants and trees. It turns out that people’s mental well-being is associated with both green and blue areas. Animals also live in rivers and canals.
Mental well-being improved after visiting rivers and canals, according to a new study. Moreover, this effect continued for another day after that.
Canal & River Trust’s ambassador, Dr. Amir Khan said the research confirms what many people know intuitively. Namely, the benefits for the general well-being of a person walking near water.
