The Beatrix Canal (Dutch: Beatrixkanaal) is a 8.4 km long canal in the southern Dutch. It was constructed to provide the city of Eindhoven with access to the Wilhelmina Canal.In order to be able to regulate the level of the Gender and Dommel streams which regularly threatened to flood Eindhoven’s inner city an additional Discharge Canal (Afwateringskanaal) which is not open to navigation was dug to connect the Beatrix Canal and the Dommel stream.
