The Sarda river in Nepal has been identified for connecting with the Yamuna, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Monday. Besides, the Ghaghra river (known as the Karnali in Nepal) has been identified for linking with the Yamuna, Minister of State for Water Resource Sanwar Lal Jat said.
"Both these links have been identified under the Himalayan river component of the national perspective plan," he said in a written reply. The plan was formulated by the Water Resource Ministry in 1980 for inter-basin transfer of water from surplus basins to deficit basins, he said.
Replying to a separate question, he said Rajasthan is not receiving its due share of water from the Yamuna and blamed the governments of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana for this.
