Ottu barrage, Water barrage in Sirsa district, India
The Ottu barrage creates a reservoir on the Ghaggar-Hakra River, featuring two main canals that distribute water throughout northern Haryana and Rajasthan.
The construction of this masonry weir began in 1896 during a regional famine, with workers completing the structure in 1897 at a cost of 6.3 lakh rupees.
The water management system supports agricultural traditions in Haryana and Rajasthan, where farmers maintain centuries-old cultivation methods through reliable irrigation.
Visitors can access the barrage through the Sirsa-Rania Road, with a tourist complex offering facilities for those interested in examining the water infrastructure.
The reservoir formed by the barrage replaced the former Dhanur lake, creating a water body that now supplies two distinct canal systems for regional agriculture.
