It is the main canal of an irrigation system that has 42 branches, and runs a length of {{convert|750|km}} (including field canals), resulting in a Culturable Command Area (CCA)[2] of {{convert|21,29,000|ha}}.[1] Soon after the completion of the construction project, the Narmada canal was inaugurated on 24 April 2008.[3] The Narmada main canal is largest, longest irrigation canal. It has carrying capacity of 40,000 cusecs at its head in Navagam and is decreased to 2,600 cusecs at Sanchore. On the way, Narmada main canal crosses many rivers and water bodies. It is called engineering marvel because canal water reaches on elevated areas and canal has many pumping stations and NMC is concrete lined. Irrigation in Gujarat{{Empty section|date=March 2015}}Irrigation in RajasthanSince Rajasthan is arid and isn't even a riparian state, considerations were made to irrigate its lands with the water from the Narmada River that flows through the neighboring state of Gujarat. After traversing {{convert|486|km}} in Gujarat, the Narmada canal enters Rajasthan near Shilu in the Sanchor tehsil of Jalore.[4] The {{convert|74|km}} main canal, with 9 major distributaries, serves an area of {{convert|1477|km2}}, including 124 villages.[5] In total, it was designed to irrigate {{convert|246000|ha}} in 233 villages in Jalore and Barmer and provide drinking water to 1,336 villages.[4] Saurastra Narmada Avataran Irrigation is a flagship program in this direction. The Narmada canal has a few unique features compared to other projects:[6]
Solar panelsSolar panels are being installed along a {{convert|1|km}} pilot project section of the Sanand Branch Canal near Chandrasan village to generate {{convert|1|MW}} of electricity. The panels are forecast to also reduce evaporation of water from the canal by {{convert|9000000|litres}} per year.[7][8]See also
