Association

Ts Canal 2 connects Ts Reservoirs 1 and 2 to Tsaghkahovit village. The coordinates above are for the head of the canal, where it joins Ts Reservoir 2. The foot of the canal, where it flows into the village, is located at E434372, N4498175 (map quad B4l/k/o).

Topography

Flow into the canal is regulated by a concrete dam on the northern end of Ts Reservoir 2 and by the flow a few meters down coming from Ts Reservoir 1. The canal flows west through a narrow defile before turning north into a broad valley that terminates at Tsaghkahovit village.

General Description

At points along its course the channel is defined by concrete embankments and steel pipes, but on places near the foot it is less formalized. This presents a problem for the modern village in that much of the water drains back into the water table before it reaches the village.
