The Bobota Canal is a 50.73 kilometers long canal in Croatia. It is named after the eponymous village of Bobota. Its construction started in the early 19th century with the aim of prevention of epidemics among people and their animals in villages in the swamp. Work without proper construction permits was initiated by nobleman Ivan Kapistran Adamović. Construction of Bobota Canal was the first major water management project in modern-day Croatia in the post-Roman Empire period.
