Canoli canal is the part of the West coast canal network of Kerala and runs through the Kozhikode city. It was constructed in the year 1848 under the orders of then collector of Malabar Mr. R. Canolly. The canoli canal is 11.4 km long and connects the Korapuzha river in the north and the Kallai river in the south. The width of the canal varies between 6 to 20 metres and the water depth during the monsoon ranges between 0.5 and 2 metres. The Canoli canal has linings made out of dimension stone on the sides along most of the canal, but at some locations it has collapsed. In a number of places along the canal trees and bushes have grown along with a lot of water plants like the water hyacinths on the surface . Because of these the water flow is very less in the middle stretch of the canal. jing jikka
