History
A canal east of the Molochnaya River channel was dug before the revolution [3] . During the war years , the southern part of the canal was already approximately where it is now, and the northern part of the canal was still missing [4] . By 1990, the canal was already fully flowing along its current channel [2] .
Ecology
In 2005-2010, the canal practically did not work to discharge water, which during rains led to flooding in Konstantinovka . In recent years, work is underway to clear the channel [5] .
