The Irtysh–Karaganda Canal (, (ロシア語:Канал Иртыш — Караганда)) is an irrigation canal in Kazakhstan. It connects the Irtysh River with Karaganda (Qaraghandy), a major industrial center in north-central Kazakhstan. After Kazakhstan's independence, the canal has been officially known as Kanysh Satpayev Canal ((ロシア語:Канал имени Каныша Сатпаева)). named so after the Kazakh geologist Kanysh Satpayev. ==Description== The canal starts at , just south of the city of Aksu (formerly Yermak), where it takes water from one of the branches of the Irtysh River. It runs for 451 km〔(Irtysh-Karaganda Canal ) in The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 1979〕 in the general western, southwestern, and southern direction. It reaches an industrial area on the northeastern outskirts of Karaganda at (Kokpekti District), at which point its water apparently goes into an underground pipeline.〔Satellite view on Google Maps〕 On its route, the canal passes through numerous reservoirs (the Ekibastuz Reservoir (, about 10 km north of Ekibastuz), as well as other reservoirs at , , etc.). The canal crosses the Nura River at , in what appears to be a tunnel. Some of the canal's water is directed into the Nura (a chute below the dam at ), replenishing this river. As Karaganda is located at a higher elevation than the Irtysh, the canal is furnished with 22 pumping stations, raising the water by 475 m in total. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irtysh–Karaganda Canal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
