Haryana, Rajasthan Sign MoU for Yamuna Water Transfer Project

The Governments of Haryana and Rajasthan have signed an MoU to jointly prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for transferring Yamuna water from Hathnikund to Churu, Sikar, Jhunjhunu, and other districts of Rajasthan through underground pipelines.

As per the MoU, Phase-1 of the project envisages transferring up to 577 MCM of water during July–October for drinking and other requirements in Rajasthan, after utilising the full capacity (24,000 cusec) of the Western Yamuna Canal by Haryana, including Delhi’s share at Hathnikund.

Both states have constituted a Task Force for the project, while Rajasthan has engaged a consultant to prepare the DPR.
