Feature
It was commissioned in 1988 and is the main link in the Dnieper - Ingulets canal system.
The main purpose is to provide water to the agricultural lands of the Kirovograd and Dnipropetrovsk regions, the Krivorozhsky mining industrial complex, as well as the flooding of the Ingulets River with a view to its rehabilitation. Two pumping stations ensure the fulfillment of this task: the main and the secondary lift.
Two tunnels with a diameter of 5 m were built on the site that transports water through the watershed, over 5.8 km with a bottom width of 8 m and a depth of 3 m.
The volume of water supply by the channel is 1003 million m³ / year.
Channel Route
The canal originates from the Kremenchug reservoir on the Dnieper.
The main pumping station raises water by 45 m to the water outlet. Then it flows by gravity in an open trapezoidal artificial channel, through the first tunnel, a transit reservoir, the second tunnel, and again into the pumping station of the second rise.
Climbing 10.5 m, the water again flows by gravity through the channel through seven drops, and from there into the Voinovsky reservoir near Alexandria .
Further along the channel of the Ingults through the Iskra reservoir, its path lies in the Karachunovsky reservoir near Krivoy Rog . The total length of the route is 150.5 km.
