The Gnevsdorf drainage canal is an approximately eleven-kilometer-long, artificially constructed canal between the Havel and Elbe rivers, serving as an additional outlet into the Elbe. Its design aimed to shift the Elbe's backwater level downstream to a lower level, thus effectively relieving pressure on the Lower Havel during floods. Simultaneously, the canal improves the flow of Havel water to the Elbe, which has a steeper gradient. The Gnevsdorf drainage canal is part of a comprehensive flood protection system that also includes several weirs and the Havelberg lock.
