The '''Kanagyol''' ({{langx|bg|Канагьол}}, {{langx|ro|Canora}}) is a river in northeastern [[Bulgaria]] and southeastern [[Romania]]. It is a tributary of the [[Danube]] via [[Lake Bugeac]], which is drained by the [[Almălău]]. The river flows in the region of [[Dobruja]]. Its length is 110&nbsp;km, of which over 100&nbsp;km are in Bulgaria.<ref name="Geographic Dictionary of Bulgaria 239">{{harvnb|Geographic Dictionary of Bulgaria|1980|p=239}}</ref>
The Kanagyol takes its source from a spring at an altitude of 470&nbsp;m in the Samuilovo Heights, close to the village of [[Kapitan Petko]] in eastern part of the [[Danubian Plain (Bulgaria)|Danubian Plain]]. Almost throughout its whole course the river flows northeast in a canyon-like valley deeply cut in [[Aptian]] limestones and [[loess]]. Downstream of the town of [[Kaolinovo]] the Kanagyol dries up and water flows only after torrential rains. At a kilometer northeast of the village of [[Bogorovo, Silistra Province|Bogorovo]] it enters Romania and then flows into the southwestern part of [[Lake Bugeac]] on the right bank of the Danube.<ref name="Geographic Dictionary of Bulgaria 239"/>
Its drainage basin covers a territory of 1,745&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> or 0.2% of the Danube's total.<ref name="Geographic Dictionary of Bulgaria 239"/> The largest tributary is the [[Harsovska reka]] (91&nbsp;km).<ref>{{harvnb|Geographic Dictionary of Bulgaria|1980|pp=523–524}}</ref>
The Kanagyol has rain–snow feed with high water in March–June and low water in July–October. Its water flow is not constant. The average annual discharge at the village of [[Osenovets]] is 0.086&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>/s.<ref name="Geographic Dictionary of Bulgaria 239"/>
The river flows in [[Shumen Province|Shumen]] and [[Silistra Province]]s. There are one town and six villages along its course. In Shumen Province are located [[Bortsi]], [[Venets, Shumen Province|Venets]] and Osenovets in [[Venets Municipality]], and the town of Kaolinovo in [[Kaolinovo Municipality]]. In Silistra Province are [[Sratsimir (village)|Sratsimir]] and Bogorovo in [[Silistra Municipality]]. Downstream of the village of [[Skala, Silistra Province|Skala]], the Kanagyol serves as the regional border between the provinces of [[Dobrich Province|Dobrich]] and Silistra for 14&nbsp;km. Its waters in the upper course are utilized for irrigation.<ref name="Geographic Dictionary of Bulgaria 239"/>
