Abstract

India is honored with abundant of water assets; however, its colossal populace development has brought about poor per capita accessibility. Additionally in India, precipitation/Monsoon is not uniform at each place. A few zones are surplus with water then again some are shortfall with water. Around the same time, there is surge in one region and dry season in another. In the event that this water from surplus territory can be exchanged to water deficiency zone, then this issue can be dealt with to substantially more noteworthy degree. In the Nagpur region which is the examination region in the present work, it is observed that all stations have recorded normal yearly precipitation inside the scope of region typical yearly precipitation aside from at Hingni, Narkhed, and Kalameshwar where it is not exactly even an average. Thus, the water availability in the dam in water deficiency territory can be upgraded by moving water in it from dam with nearly greater limit by giving canal interlink between them two. A suitable interlink for connecting these dams has been suggested so that the water transfer will be by gravity.
