Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal

The Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) Canal is a proposed water canal intended to transport water from the Sutlej River in Punjab to the Yamuna River in Haryana. Its purpose is to help Haryana meet its water needs by connecting two major rivers. The project has been politically and legally contentious, involving disputes over water sharing rights, environmental concerns, and inter-state agreements. While it aims to address water shortages, its completion remains uncertain due to ongoing disagreements between Punjab and Haryana, highlighting the complex challenges of resource management in multi-state regions.
