Q24. What is the Indus Water Plan? Why it is developed?

Ans: The Indus Water Plan:
With 3 eastern rivers going into the custody of India, the availability of water
from these rivers was no more possible. To overcome this scarcity, a vast
irrigational plan was developed called the Indus Water Plan. Under this plan,
2 big dams, 6 barrages and 7 link canals were built. These link Canals
helped in providing water from the western rivers to the eastern rivers. This
helped to provide irrigation to the lands formerly being irrigated by the
eastern rivers. Tarbela Dam on the River Indus and Mangla Dam on the
River Jnelum are part of this plan.
