Liechtenstein inland canal
The Liechtenstein Inland Canal is a body of water artificially created between 1931 and 1943, an inland canal, in the Principality of Liechtenstein.
The inland canal runs parallel to the Alpenrhein and takes in the water from twelve Alpine streams. In Ruggell, the inland canal flows into the Rhine. The inland canal is 23 km long and has a catchment area of 115 square kilometers. The inland canal is used for flood protection and drainage of Liechtenstein. After completion, large areas along the Rhine could be used intensively and profitably. Industrial areas developed along the Rhine. The canal was renatured in the early 1990s and now serves as a breeding area for e.g. for the kingfisher.
