Fishing has developed on the Karakum Canal (catfish, carp, rudd, barbel, silver carp, and grass carp). Akıntının uzunluğu 1,450 kilometre idi ve o da mutabık olan Amu Darya'yı (yerel adı - Jeyhun) ve Hazar Denizi'ni birbirine bağladı. The current Karakum Canal was not the first major attempt to bring the Amu-Darya water to the Karakums. First constructed in 1954 during the Soviet era, the Karakum Canal is one of the largest desert irrigation projects in the world. The main section, begun in 1954 and completed in 1967, runs some 520 miles (840 km) from the Amu Darya (river) to Gökdepe, west of Ashgabat, skirting the Karakum Desert. The company operates 1013 km of river-ways on Amu Darya and Karakum Canal (63rd in the world). The current Karakum Canal was not the first major attempt to bring the Amu-Darya water to the Karakums. In the 1970s and ’80s the canal was extended to the Caspian Sea coast, making the total length 870 miles (1,400 km). The canal opened up huge new tracts of land to agriculture, especially to cotton monoculture heavily promoted by the Soviet Union, and supplying Ashgabat with a major source of water.
The canal would have used around 25 percent of the Amu-Darya's water. The Karakum Canal (Qaraqum Canal, Kara Kum Canal, Garagum Canal; Russian: Каракумский канал, Karakumskiy Kanal, Turkmen: Garagum kanaly, گَرَگوُم كَنَلیٛ‎, Гарагум каналы) in Turkmenistan is one of the largest irrigation and water supply canals in the world. The Karakum Canal is equipped with a headwork (capacity, over 300 cu m per sec) with a navigable lock, a number of escape and retaining structures, and outlets into the distribution network and reservoirs. The Karakum Canal has been flowing through the endless sands of the Karakum Desert for more than half a century. In the area of the canal, a drainage network is being built to eliminate the negative effect on soil fertility of a rise in the groundwater level caused by the delivery of large additional amounts of water. The Karakum Canal runs through the city, carrying waters from the Amu Darya from east to west. In the early 1950s, construction began on the Main Turkmen Canal, which would start at a much more northerly location (near Nukus), and run southwest toward Krasnovodsk. https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Qaraqum+Canal, Dictionary, Encyclopedia and Thesaurus - The Free Dictionary, the webmaster's page for free fun content, Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic: , Turkmenistan. The canal opened up huge new tracts of land to agriculture, especially to cotton monoculture heavily promoted by the Soviet Union, and supplying Ashgabat with a major source of water. In the early 1950s, construction began on the Main Turkmen Canal (Russian: Главный Туркменский канал), which would start at a much more northerly location (near Nukus), and run southwest toward Krasnovodsk. The canal is also a factor leading to the Aral Sea environmental disaster. Started in 1954, and completed in 1988, it is navigable over much of its 1,375-kilometre (854 mi) length, and carries 13 cubic kilometres (3.1 cu mi) of water annually from the Amu-Darya River across the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan.

This stage terminates in the 190 million cu m Kopetdag Reservoir, which is under construction (1973). Therefore, water-saving technologies are applied today in order to rationally use water resources. Our editors will review what you’ve submitted and determine whether to revise the article. The current environmental policy in Turkmenistan successfully prevents water pollution. But that time, the unstable nature of the turbulent river was used productively for the construction: a narrow trench was dug, then a dam was destroyed, and the Amyderya water was let into the trench and the turbulent stream broadened the canal to the required size. (full name, V. I. Lenin Karakum Canal), a canal in the Turkmen SSR, supplying water from the Amu Darya to the southern part of the republic and the nearly waterless basins of the Murgab, Tedzhen, and a number of small rivers that flow off the Kopetdag. Reservoirs such as Hanhowuz Reservoir were created to help regulate it. Its construction was launched in 1954, and the Amyderya, one of the most water-abundant rivers in Central Asia, was used to promote the building of an artificial reservoir. The Qaraqum Canal is a canal system that takes water from the Amu Darya River and distributes the water out over the desert for irrigation of its orchard crops and cotton. Birkaç bölümden geliyor.
