Upper Ganga Canal

The Upper Ganga Canal is a historic waterway built in the 19th century to supply water from the Ganges River to the city of Delhi. Stretching approximately 137 kilometers, it transfers water for irrigation, drinking, and industrial use, helping to support agriculture and urban areas. The canal also plays a role in maintaining water levels in the region and providing a habitat for local wildlife. Its construction improved water management and infrastructure, though it requires ongoing maintenance to prevent pollution and ensure reliable water delivery. Overall, it is a vital resource for northern India's water needs.
