History

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]
