Abstract:

River Linking means linking two or more rivers by creating a network of manually created canals, and providing land areas that otherwise does not have river water access. It is based on the assumptions that surplus water in some rivers can be diverted to deficit Rivers by creating a network of canals to interconnect the rivers. In Bhavnagar district (India) the Shetrunji dam was built for irrigation on river Shetrunji.The surplus water availability in the dam is high as dam overflows quite often .Water deficiency analysis is also done on the basis of yearly availability of water in the Dhatarwadi II dam, Rajula Taluka, Amreli district (India) .Dhatarwadi dam was constructed on Dhatarwadi river.So surplus water diversion is possible through canal to feed the dam having deficiency of water. The present study is to deal with the surplus water diversion via canal along with consideration of various ground features, contours and slope of the study area using GIS and Remote Sensing. Location of canal falls and location of cross drainage work is also presented in the present study.
