Proposed plan for Satluj-Ghaggar-Yamuna-Jojari-Luni-Sabarmati River link channels
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.
Sabarmati Link Channel: However, that proportion of the Himalayan water which is flowing in the Luni river and which goes into Rann of Kachch through delta will remain unharnessed. So by the third channel constructed by the removal of soil from Sanchore to Dissa, Palanpur, Sidhpur, Mesana and Ahmedabad of Gujarat State, the Luni river can be linked with Sabarmati river. By this way, the joining of the Himalayan water with new proposed channel, in the Northwest India of the Indian sub-continent will be called Maru-Ganga.
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.
In the state of Rajasthan the Hanumangarh, Churu, Jhunjhunu, Sikar, Nagaur, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Pali, Barmer and Jalore districts will get additional irrigation of 12 lakhs hectares land, 5 lakhs hectares of grazing land, 50 thousand sq. km underground water will be re-charged and 25 lakhs tons additional foodgrain can be produced every year. In the Gujarat State, Banaskanta, Dissa, Palanpur, Sidhpur and Ahmedabad will also get additional irrigation facilities for 2 lakh hectares, in 10 thousand sq. km underground water level will be re-charged and 5 lakhs tonnes foodgrain will be produced. The proposed river channel will protect wild life and migratory birds of this region and also conserve the environment and eco-system of the surrounding area of the new Maru-Ganga channel. The area which falls between the Thar Desert and Aravalli mountain region like Churuthal, Shekhawati, Shalkh or Nagaur upland, Marwar, Godwar, Malani and northern Gujarat where the agriculture land will be irrigated by the diverted Himalayan water.
After implementation of this plan, the rivers of North India will be linked with Southern India rivers through Rajasthan desert with help of newly identified Ghaggar, Yamuna and Sabarmati link Maru-Ganga Channel. Desert soil area linked with fertile black soil region of Southern India through this new plan. To complete the proposed plan it will be possible only with the help of special financial assistance from the Central Government in collaboration with State Government in three stages. In first stage Ghaggar channel, in second stage Yamuna channel and finally the third stage Sabarmati link channel can be made and complete the whole plan. After that the Western India will be largest foodgrain producing and irrigated area of the world. This new river channel will join Himalayas, Desert and sea. In the 21st century the important event will take place if joining of these three major geographical regions of Indian sub-continent by the new identified channel.
