North Crimean Canal, Irrigation canal in Crimean Peninsula.
The North Crimean Canal extends 402 kilometers from the Kakhovka Reservoir through the Perekop Isthmus to the city of Kerch, reaching depths of 13 meters.
Construction of this water infrastructure began in 1957, involving 10,000 workers who completed the project in multiple phases between 1961 and 1971.
The canal transformed agricultural practices in Crimea by enabling large-scale farming operations and supporting population growth across previously water-scarce regions.
The water system includes 24 regulating stations, five reservoirs, 118 escape gates, and numerous pumping stations that manage water distribution throughout the peninsula.
Following political changes in 2014, Ukraine stopped water flow to Crimea, leading to significant agricultural disruptions until Russian forces reopened it in 2022.
