The canal was emptied to the point that the water level was reduced to 50 centimeters. But the workers had another perhaps more important task at hand, which was to rescue the many living creatures that called the canal home. As it turned out, almost five tons of bream, carp, and trout were scooped up by the dedicated laborers. The fish were then moved to healthier breeding grounds, but not before being identified and weighed individually. Despite their new home not being ideal, it sure beat the murky depths of the canal!
