Tajewala.<\/p>\n<p>The Western Yamuna Canal (WYC) is a canal in India that originates from the Yamuna River at Tajewala Barrage in Yamunanagar district of Haryana. It is one of the largest canals in India and irrigates an area of over 1.5 million hectares in the states of Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n<p>The WYC was constructed in the early 1900s to provide irrigation to the arid regions of northwestern India. It is a gravity canal and its water is drawn from the Yamuna River through a barrage at Tajewala. The canal is about 250 kilometers long and has a discharge capacity of about 1,000 cubic meters per second.<\/p>\n<p>The WYC is a major source of irrigation for the states of Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. It also provides water for drinking, industrial, and domestic purposes. The canal is an important part of the Indian irrigation system and plays a vital role in the economy of the region.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Salhawas is a village in the Karnal district of Haryana.
