Abstract

The article focuses on the construction of a 2.3-km-long aqueduct on the Chambal River in Rajasthan, designed to enhance water supply for drinking and irrigation across 17 districts. This aqueduct is part of the Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal link project, which is integrated with the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP) and included in the national river linking plan. The project aims to transfer excess water from the Chambal basin to water-scarce regions, benefiting approximately 32.5 million people. The construction, costing Rs 2,230 crore, is expected to be completed by June 2028 and will also provide an additional public transport route. [Extracted from the article]
