Indira Gandhi Canal, Irrigation canal in Rajasthan, India
The Indira Gandhi Canal extends 650 kilometers from the Harike Barrage through Punjab, Haryana, and into the Thar Desert of Rajasthan.
Construction of the canal began in 1958 under its original name, Rajasthan Canal, and reached completion in 2010 after overcoming financial and technical challenges.
The canal system transforms desert communities by enabling farmers to grow mustard, cotton, and wheat in previously non-agricultural regions of Rajasthan.
The infrastructure carries water from three rivers - Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi - to irrigate over 1.67 million acres across seven districts of Rajasthan.
This water system caused ecological changes in the Thar Desert, leading to the disappearance of 153 native plant species from irrigated areas.
