Significance of Study :
The proposed identified new Maru-Ganga river's Channel length will be near about 15 hundred km right from Himachal Himalayas to Gulf of Cambay of Arbian Sea in Gujarat State. However, after the Brahmaputra, Ganga and Godawari rivers the new Maru-Ganga river will be the 4th Major river of India in length. The proposed Maru-Ganga river will be 16th major river in terms of length in the Asian continent and 30th river in the world. This river will carry water of Himalayas through Indian desert and ultimately merge in the Gulf of Cambay in Gujarat State. After implementation of this plan, the north-west India will get permanent relief from natural calamities like flood, famine and drought. After implementation of the plan cattle migration will stop, saline water will be converted into potable water, and under ground water level will rise, protect the cattle wealth of the region, produce additional foodgrains, green vegetable and fruit. The Bhakra, Gang and Indira Gandhi canal command area will get permanent relief from water logging problem. With this plan Bahawalpur region of Pakistan and Delhi Indian national capital region will get relief from flooding during rainy season of Ghaggar and Yamuna river respectively.

In the Luni-basin and Nothern Gujarat by the implementation of this plan the area will produce large amount of Coconut, Banana, Mango, Date, Green Vegetable, Spices and milk. Due to the availability of solar and wind energy alongwith Himalayan water new Industries can be established in the study area.

Analysis:
During the rainy season, large amount of floodwater is available in the Himachal Himalayas and the Uttrakhand region of the Himalayas. This flood water goes waste through the Ghaggar and the Yamuna river respectively into Pakistan and the Bay of Bengal. For the development of the Indian desert and semi desert areas this floodwater can be diverted without lifting towards Rajasthan and the North Gujarat Plain. The floodwater of Punjab rivers and also the Yamuna river can be diverted through three link channels (Fig. 2). These link channels are the Ghaggar link channel, the Yamuna link channel and the Sabarmati link channel. Through these channels the Himalayan diverted flood water will reach the Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Cambay. The details of proposed newly identified channels are:

Ghaggar Link Channel:
The arid and semi arid regions of Rajasthan and Gujarat state can get many million cubic meters of water through proper management and diversion of Himalayan water. In rainy season large amount of floodwater flows into the Ghaggar river. This flood water can be diverted by the removal of soil from Hanumangarh to Pallu, Napasar, Deshnok, Chadi, Danwara, Jodhpur or Pallu, Sardar Shahar, Tal-Chapper, Nagaur , Asop, Bhopalgarh, Jodhpur or Nagaur to Merta by the removel of soil. By these route the Himalayan water can be dropped into Jojari-Mithari river. Ultimately this diverted water flowing naturally will reach near Salawas or Khejari Khurd and meet with Luni river.

Yamuna Link Channel:
In the same rainy season the Uttarakhand region of Himalayas also gets large amount of water due to heavy rain and flood situation occurs in the Yamuna river every year. This flood water of Yamuna river which is released from Tejawala feeder can be diverted from Sonipat by removing the soil of Rohatak, Mahendragarh and Hissar districts of Haryana state and Jhujhunu, Mandawa, Mukundgarh, Sikar, Didwana, Degana and Merta in Nagaur district. The diverted water will reach Merta and join with Mithari-Jojari river. From Merta onwards this Yamuna water which will naturally flow and go towards Ghaggrana; Ghorawat, Pipar and Bisalpur. This Yamuna water will meet with Luni river near Jodhpur at Khejarli-Khurd. However, the Ghaggar and Yamuna diverted flood water will meet near Khejarli Khurd or Luni village with Luni river. This water will reach Samdari, Balotra, Sindari, Dhorimana, Guda and ultimately reach near Sanchore in Jalor district.
