Kuma-Manych Canal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kuma-Manych Canal (Russian: Кумо-Манычский канал) is an irrigation canal serving the Kuma-Manych Depression. It connects the Kuma River, which flows into the Caspian Sea, with the Manych River, a tributary of the Don which flows into the Sea of Azov and connects to the Black Sea.
In June 2007, Kazakhstan leaders suggested that Russia build a much deeper canal along the same general route, suitable for large-ship navigation between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences started conducting a review of possible routes.[1]
