Nevinnomyssk Canal, Nevinnomyssk

The Nevinnomyssk Canal is an irrigation canal in Stavropol Krai in Russia. It leads water from the Kuban River to the Yegorlyk River, which in turn drains north to the Manych River. The canal starts at a dam across the Kuban River at the town of Nevinnomyssk. It then runs about 33km northwest parallel to the east bank of the Kuban. At the village of Tunnelnyy, about 25km southwest of Stavropol where it is about 100 feet higher than the Kuban, it enters a 6km north-tending tunnel to cross the divide between the Kuban and Yegorlyk basins and then goes about 8km north to enter the Yegorlyk in two branches.
