Canals in Ukraine

Canals in Ukraine (Ukrainian: Канали України) are mostly for irrigation or water supply. Most of them are supervised by the Canal Administration of the State Agency of water resources of Ukraine. As the rest of water resources canals compose the Water Fund of Ukraine and are included in the Water Cadastre (register) of Ukraine.

Most of the canals are in the basins of the Dnieper and Siversky Donets, with some in the Danube basin. Their main purpose is water supply, irrigation, and drainage of land; they are also used partially for fish farming and recreation.
