The project is designed to improve irrigation and water supply in the states of Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n<p>The canal is 214 kilometers long and has a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters per second. It was constructed between 1974 and 1982.<\/p>\n<p>The project has been controversial since its inception. Some people have argued that it is unfair to divert water from the Sutlej River, which is a major source of water for the states of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. Others have argued that the project will not be effective in improving irrigation and water supply.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the controversy, the Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal is an important project for India. It is designed to improve irrigation and water supply in a region that is facing a water crisis. The project is also expected to boost economic development in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option a: Water sharing between states. The Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal is not a project aimed at water sharing between states. The project is designed to transfer water from the Sutlej River to the Yamuna River, not to share water between different states.<\/li>\n<li>Option b: Improving river navigation. The Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal is not a project aimed at improving river navigation. The project is designed to transfer water from the Sutlej River to the Yamuna River, not to improve navigation on either river.<\/li>\n<li>Option c: Hydroelectric power generation. The Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal is not a project aimed at hydroelectric power generation. The project is designed to transfer water from the Sutlej River to the Yamuna River, not to generate hydroelectric power.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Water sharing between states&#8221;
