NAR-PAR-TAPI RIVER LINKING PROJECT

About: 

• The Nar-Par-Tapi linking project, which is a combination of a lift irrigation scheme, tunnels and canals, will ensure 52 thousand million cubic feet (TMCft) water for Marathwada and parts of north Maharashtra.
  
  
• The State Cabinet in July had given its nod to complete the Nar-Par-Tapi and the Damanganga–Pinjal river linking projects to mitigate the water woes of Marathwada and areas of Mumbai city.
  
  
• The projects have been hanging fire for years owing to technical disputes over water sharing with Gujarat.
