Bambawali Ravi-Bedian (BRB) Canal
Lahore Canal (Urdu/Punjabi: لاہور نہر) begins at the Bambawali-Ravi-Bedian (BRB) Canal that runs through the east of the city of Lahore, Punjab in Pakistan. The 37 miles (60 km) long waterway was initially built by the Mughals. It was then upgraded by the British in 1861. It is an important part of the city's cultural heritage.[1]
The canal is managed by Lahore Zone of the Punjab Irrigation Department. The canal, aside from its importance for irrigation, forms the centre of a unique linear park that serves as one of the longest public green belts and popular recreational destination spots.[2] The average depth of the Canal is 5 feet (1.5 m) and it is bounded by roads on either side called the Canal Bank Road.[3] On local and national festivals, the canal is illuminated with lights and décor.
