Nura-Ishim Canal
The Nura- Ishim Canal ( Russian Канал Нура - Ишим , Kazakh Нұра-Есіл каналы , Nura-Esil kanalı ) is located in Kazakhstan in the south of the fast-growing state capital Nur-Sultan (Astana until 2019) . It connects the Nura and Ishim rivers .
The canal , which was built in Soviet times , was rehabilitated by 2012 to ensure the water supply for industry and for local fish farming ( carp ) after the supply from Astana's reservoirs on the Ishim was no longer sufficient. The project cost more than 4.7 billion tenge (at that time a good 25 million euros).
The reconstructed canal is 24.77 km long, three meters wide and an average of four meters deep. Its water guide is formed by a weir on the Nura (beginning of the channel 50 ° 54 '55 " N , 71 ° 20' 1" O ) regulated; in summer 12.3 m³ / s, in winter 3.9 m³ / s from the Nura , which carries an average of 51 m³ / s of water at the weir, into the Ishim (end of the canal 51 ° 5 '55 ″ N , 71 ° 28 ′ 16 ″ O ) , which itself only carries 13.5 m² / s of water at this point and without the discharges from the Irtysh-Karaganda Canal would lead only 5.6 m³ / s.
