The boat drops down into the same water level as it left.
Why did they need 7 locks before?

The boat is actually lifted from the lower area up to that raised 'aqueduct' by this device. It can be seen moving off the lift and down the flume at the very end of the clip. The locks were probably spaced out over some distance and gradually lifted the boats from the lowest point to the highest, a little bit at a time.
