Pathrala barrage, Water control structure across Somb River in Yamuna Nagar District, Haryana, India

The Pathrala Barrage extends 460 meters in length and rises 34 meters high, controlling water flow on the Somb River for regional distribution.

Built in 1875-1876, this barrage emerged as part of infrastructure improvements following the renovation of the Western Yamuna Canal system by British engineers.

The water management system connects multiple districts including Ambala, Karnal, Sonepat, Rohtak, Jind, Hisar, and Bhiwani through irrigation networks.

The barrage functions as a water regulation facility that maintains consistent supply for agricultural operations throughout seasonal variations in river flow.

The structure incorporates specialized engineering solutions developed over 148 years to address water distribution challenges in northern India.
