Grand Canal d'Alsace, Navigation canal in eastern France.
The Grand Canal d'Alsace stretches for 50 kilometers along the Rhine River between Kembs and Vogelgrun, accommodating vessels up to 5000 metric tons.
Construction of this waterway began in 1932 with the Kembs section, followed by three additional lock pairs added between 1952 and 1959.
The canal development transformed the Alsace region by enabling industrial growth and establishing new economic connections between France, Switzerland, and Germany.
Four hydroelectric power stations along the canal generate electricity for both French and German industries while supporting navigation for over 30,000 boats annually.
The canal redirects water from the original Rhine riverbed and supplies cooling water to multiple industrial facilities in the region.
