Inland canal
Inland canal is the name of a canal that collects various smaller flowing waters in flat terrain in order to feed them to a river or lake . Inland canals often run parallel to a canalised river and ensure that the river dam does not have to be interrupted or only has to be interrupted a few times by the inflow from lateral waters.
Examples are the inland canals, which, like the Rheintaler inland canal , the Liechtenstein inland canal and the Vorarlberg Rheintalbinnenkanal , were created in connection with the regulation of the Rhine in the northern Alpine Rhine valley . In the course of the Linth correction in the Linth area and with the flood protection on the Thur in the canton of Thurgau , inland canals were also created.
