Kortteinen canal
Kortteisen kanava
Kortteinen canal in Pihtiputaa municipality is about 8 kilometer long.
The canal was built to drain lake Kortteisenjärvi and thus create cultivable land. Lake Kortteisenjärvi was 500 hectare. The canal has been renovated several times from the 1880ies to the 1980ies. Today lake Elämäjärvi is drained through the canal to lake Saanijärvi.
The environmental center plans to renovate the canal and thus the conditions for animals and plants as well as the conditions for lake Elämäjärvi.
