Notes: The Union Ministry of Jal Shakti signed a MoU with Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh for the "Modified PKC- Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP)." The project, integrated into the National Perspective Plan, targets optimal water use in the Chambal basin. It aims to supply drinking and industrial water to 13 districts, connecting sub-basins within Chambal Basin. River Interlinking, part of disaster management, economics, and ecology, connects water bodies to mitigate floods, enhance irrigation, and support biodiversity, though concerns include biodiversity loss and community displacement.
