The Transcaspian Canal (Russian: Транскаспийский канал) was a proposed canal to diver the Amu Darya River from the Aral Sea and into the Caspian Sea. It was first proposed by Tsarist engineers and later considered by Soviet. Proponents argued that the project would return the Amu Darya into its old bed.[1]
Several proposal were made to build the canal. One of the first proposals was made by Aleksander Glukhovskoy in 1868.[2] He argued that such a canal would allow ships sailing down the Volga to reach Tashkent via Bukhara.
Later engineer Georgi Riesenkampff proposed to build a 1,600-km (1,500-verst) canal stretching from the upper reaches of the Amu Darya in Afghanistan through the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan all the way to the Caspian sea.[3]
