Major & Medium Irrigation Projects

« Go Back

Water resources projects are broadly categorized into irrigation projects and hydroelectric projects. These projects are planned for various purposes like irrigation, hydro-power generation, water supply for drinking and industrial purpose, flood control navigation etc. Projects which serve more than one purpose are called as multipurpose projects. Generally majority of multipurpose projects are combination of irrigation and hydro-power. There are many irrigation, hydro-power and multipurpose projects which were approved initially as independent projects. Subsequently due to interstate agreements and new projects coming up on downstream and upstream, water planning was done in such a way that operation of these projects are now done in an integrated manner. Such types of projects are now being called as irrigation, hydro power, multipurpose and complex.

  • Major & Medium Projects incorporated in WRIS Wiki are as per Major Medium compendium of XIth Plan issued by CWC.
