Kanalverlaufs
Kanalverlaufs is a German term used to describe the path or course of a canal, channel, sewer, or drainage conduit through a landscape. It encompasses the planned and actual alignment, the longitudinal profile, and, depending on the type of installation, the cross-section and materials. The concept applies to both open channels, such as drainage ditches or irrigation canals, and closed conduits, such as pressure pipes or sewer lines. The Kanalverlauf influences hydraulic performance, land use, construction feasibility, and long-term maintenance.
In planning practice, the canal Verlauf is determined by balancing hydraulic efficiency with constructability, land ownership,
Implementation distinguishes between open-channel routes and buried pipelines. Open channels require considerations of slope stability, bedding,
Kanalverläufe are routinely represented in GIS as polylines and serve as inputs for hydraulic and flood-risk
