To provide water to the southern regions of the State, Haryana Government has decided to remodel and increase the capacity of Bhalaut and Jhajjar sub branches of Western Yamuna Canal.
A spokesman said that the proposed project was a part of the vision of Chief Minister, Manohar lal, for ensuring water security to the National Capital Region, and particularly to the national capital Delhi.
The project to increase the capacity of Bhalaut and Jhajjar sub branches would ensure utilisation of water of river Yamuna during monsoon by carrying it to southern Haryana for irrigation and recharging of ground water. For this purpose, it has been proposed to increase the capacity of Bhalaut Sub Branch.
The Chief Minister had accorded administrative approval for taking consultancy services from WAPCOS for the project. The scope of work to be carried out by WAPCOS includes design of l-Section, head regulator at Khubru head for Bhalaut Sub Branch and intervening structures, safe working head of different take-offs already functioning and design of pump house at tail of Jhajjar Sub Branch.
