Nevinnomyssk Canal

The Nevinnomyssk Canal (Russian: Невинномысский канал, Nevinnomysskij kanal) is an irrigation canal in Stavropol Krai in Russia. It leads water from the Kuban River to the Yegorlyk River, which in turn drains towards the Manych River. Construction work on the canal started in 1936, but was interrupted by World War II. Work resumed in 1944, and in 1948 the Nevinnomyssk Canal was put into service. It is 49.2 km long, and its maximum flow is 75 m³/sek. The canal starts at a dam across the Kuban River in the town of Nevinnomyssk. Along the canal there are two hydroelectric powerstations – Svistukhinskaya and Sengileyevskaya.
