Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP)

Описание: The ERCP is a project to harvest surplus water available during the rainy season in rivers in southern Rajasthan and use it in the water-scarce south-eastern districts of the state. The project is expected to provide drinking water to 13 districts of Rajasthan and irrigation water for 2.8 lakh hectares of land.

The ERCP is a mega project that is expected to cost around Rs 51,000 crore. The project has been in the works for many years, but it has been delayed due to inter-state issues between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. The project is currently under review by the Central Water Commission.

The ERCP is a major initiative to address the water scarcity problem in Rajasthan. The project is expected to have a significant positive impact on the lives of millions of people in the state.

Here are some additional details about the ERCP:

The project will involve the construction of a canal network that will be over 2,000 kilometers long.
The canal will be able to carry up to 1,000 cusecs of water.
The project will also include the construction of a number of dams and reservoirs.
The ERCP is expected to be completed by 2025.
