Pothonggang Canal

The Pothonggang Canal (Pot'onggang Canal, Potonggang Unha) is a river in North Korea. It flows through the capital Pyongyang and is a tributary of the Pothong River. Prior to 1946, the canal was part of the Pothong River. That year, the Pothong River Improvement Project separated the Canal.^[1]
