Irtysh–Karaganda Canal
The Irtysh–Karaganda Canal (Kazakh: Ертіс-Қарағанды каналы, Russian: 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 (Russian: Канал имени Каныша Сатпаева). named so after the Kazakh geologist Kanysh Satpayev.
The canal starts at 51°59′38″N 76°59′27″E / 51.99389°N 76.99083°E, 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 in the general western, south-western, and southern direction. It reaches an industrial area on the north-eastern outskirts of Karaganda at 49°58′22″N 73°15′49″E / 49.97278°N 73.26361°E (Kokpekti District), at which point its water apparently goes into an underground pipeline.
