Aller Canal
The Aller Canal ((ドイツ語:Allerkanal)) is a canal built in the mid-19th century in the German state of Lower Saxony. The canal is long and runs between Wolfsburg and Gifhorn. It was built to protect agricultural land from flooding by the river Aller. The nearly straight canal carries water from the Aller more quickly than the river itself can in its meandering course through this section of the old glacial valley. ==Route== The Aller Canal was completed in 1863 after a three year construction period. It begins near Weyhausen just beyond the city of Wolfsburg, where it is joined by the tributary of the Kleine Aller. Here the Aller divides itself between its natural river channel and the canal. The canal runs in an almost straight line through the wetland of the Barnbruch as far as Gifhorn where it passes the town to the south. West of Gifhorn the canal uses the upgraded and widened stream bed of the Hehlenriede and, 5 km west of Gifhorn, near Brenneckenbrück on the B 188, it rejoins the Aller. About a kilometre before that the water of the canal drops by about a metre over a weir. The river flows parallel and north of the canal by several kilometres and, in this flat area of the Aller's old glacial valley, forms tightly-spaced meanders which reduce the water velocity in the river.
