Haryana CM Approves Rs. 147.88 Lakh for Reconstruction of Syphon and Cross Regulator to Boost Water Supply in Villages
Chandigarh:
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has sanctioned Rs.147.88 lakh for the reconstruction of the Syphon and Cross Regulator at Banarsi Distributary. This initiative aims to resolve long-standing issues in water flow and benefit several villages in the region.
The villages set to benefit from this project include Khanpur, Hebatka, Maroda, Kora Bas, Jhimrawat, Maroda Bas, Basi, Puthli, Jalalpur, Firjpur Dahar, Imamnagar, Mohhammad Saral Aklimpur, Bukharaka, Bhadas, Karheri, Karkera, Jetaka Aklimpur, Rajaka, Uleta, Ghagas, Notki, Nagina, and others.
Addressing Key Challenges in Water Distribution
Due to the narrow mouth of the siphon at RD 15750, flowing debris often gets stuck, causing overflow in the canal and obstructing water from reaching the pump house. This also hampers the water supply to the tail ends of the canal, leaving farmers in downstream areas without sufficient water for irrigation. The reconstruction of the siphon will eliminate this bottleneck, ensuring a seamless water flow and preventing water wastage.
Additionally, a cross regulator is needed at RD 47650 of the Banarsi Distributary to enhance water levels in the Shadipur Minor. This will ensure that water reaches the tail-end villages of Shadipur Minor, addressing irrigation needs in these areas.
Cost Estimates and Benefits
The rough cost estimate for the reconstruction of the siphon is Rs. 48.07 lakh, while the construction of the cross regulator is estimated at Rs.99.81 lakh. Together, these projects will provide significant relief to farmers, ensuring equitable water distribution and boosting agricultural productivity across the region.
Impact on Farmers and Agriculture
The approved projects aim to provide water supply to tail-end areas, directly benefiting thousands of people of the area. This will not only resolve long-standing irrigation challenges but also enhance crop yield and overall agricultural sustainability in the villages.
