The problem with Noxy's version is it allows you to build anywhere, whereas half the point of this mod is it only allows placing near existing water. I've managed to get this working for 1.1.x, removed the collision_mask, graphics_set and water_reflection: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e2tw0xjhhta36xr/CanalBuilder_1.1.0.zip?dl=1
However I'm completely new to modding, and it would be great if someone who knows anything about modding could have a quick look to see if there's any issues... I'm going to be playing with it, so I should be able to find any issues if there are any
EDIT: finally got around to releasing it as a proper mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/CanalBuilderWLK
