The Triple Project was engineered to channel surplus water from the Jhelum to the Chenab and from the Chenab to where ?

Select your answer for: The Triple Project was engineered to channel surplus water from the Jhelum to the Chenab and from the Chenab to where ?
Show answer

Answer: C. Ravi

Explanation

The historic Triple Canal Project successfully linked the Jhelum river water supplies to the Chenab river. Subsequent engineering channels transferred excess water resources from the Chenab river directly into the Ravi river. This massive irrigation undertaking transformed arid agricultural lands into productive agricultural regions in Punjab. British colonial engineers designed and constructed the Triple Canal Project during the early twentieth century. The engineering marvel utilized siphon aqueducts and unlined canals to manage large inter basin water transfers. This network served as a foundational blueprint for subsequent major irrigation projects in the Indus basin.

The Sutlej river was connected through different canal networks rather than serving as the primary terminal of this project. The Upper Bari Doab is an irrigated region rather than the specific river targeted by the Chenab transfer. Selecting none of these is incorrect because the Ravi river is indeed the correct destination of the transfer.
