Donets-Donbas Canal

The Donets-Donbas Canal extends for 131.6 kilometers from the Donets River near Raihorodok village to the city of Donetsk, featuring four pumping stations.

Construction of the canal commenced in 1954 and completed in 1958 to address water scarcity issues during the rapid industrial development of eastern Ukraine.

The canal system represents a significant engineering achievement that transformed the regional development of the Donbas industrial region through water resource management.

The canal maintains a flow capacity of 25 cubic meters per second and raises water elevation by 248 meters to supply industries and populations across the region.

The canal incorporates seven filtration stations and multiple reservoirs while maintaining depths between 3.5 and 4.8 meters throughout its course.
