Sweet Water Canal
Sweet Water Canal, also known as Fresh Water Canal or Ismaïlia Canal, is a Canal in Egypt built to facilitate construction of the Suez Canal by providing fresh water from Lake Timsah to Suez and Port Said.〔 Sweet Water Canal has facilitated the growth of agriculture of settlements along the Suez Canal, and it particularly important for supplying water to the city of Port Said. Like the Suez, it was designed by French engineers; construction lasted from 1861 until 1863.〔 It runs through the now-dry distributary of the Wadi Tumilat,〔''Encyclopaedia Britannica'', 11th edition, s.v. ("Suez Canal" ). Accessed 8 August 2008.〕 incorporating portions of an ancient Suez Canal that existed between Old Cairo and the Red Sea.
During the 1950s when British soldiers were stationed in the area, the waterway was reputed to be foul-smelling and contaminated, and Royal Air Force personnel were advised to avoid contact with the water.
