Quick Summary

The Sarda Canal is a significant irrigation canal in northern India, completed in 1930. It originates from the Sarda Barrage, located near Banbasa in Uttarakhand state, which is built on the Sarda River. The Sarda River itself begins as the Kali River in the Great Himalayas and forms part of the border between Uttarakhand and Nepal before entering the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The Sarda Canal is one of the longest irrigation canals in northern India, playing a crucial role in the region's agriculture by distributing water to farmland.12
