Terek–Kuma Canal ( Russian: Терско-Кумский канал is a canal in southern Russia, and connects between the Terek River and Kuma River. It has a total length of 150 kilometres (93 mi), and an irrigation area of about 100,000 hectares (250,000 acres). [1]
In December 1926, Soviet authorities approved the construction of a canal between the Terek River and Kuma River to improve the local irrigation system. [2]
In October 1967, a government institution was set up to regulate the water supply systems near the Terek River, including for this canal. [3]
In the future, this canal could become part of the water source for the Eurasia Canal, which is currently under planning. [4]
