Dnieper–Kryvyy Rih Canal

The Dnieper–Kryvyy Rih Canal is an artificial waterway in Ukraine that supplies water to the industrial regions of Kryvyy Rih and the Donets Basin. This canal originates from the Kakhovka Reservoir on the Dnieper River. It was constructed in the 1970s to address water shortages in these areas. The canal is part of a larger water management system that includes the North Crimean Canal, which also draws water from the Kakhovka Reservoir. The Dnieper River itself is a major European river, flowing through Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine before emptying into the Black Sea.12
