Navigation stopped in 1904.[6] It was built seven-feet higher than the summer level of the river.[6] The Yamuna, from its origin at Yamunotri to Okhla barrage, is called Upper Yamuna which is managed by Upper Yamuna River Board created in 1995.[7][8] Yamuna flows for 48 km in Delhi, including 22 km from Wazirabad barrage where it enters Delhi to Okhla barrage after which it enters Haryana.[9][10][11] Upstream barrages in Delhi are Wazirabad barrage (north) and ITO barrage (center).[4][10][11][12] A canal was built from Okhla barrage to Gurugram district (now Faridabad) during the 3rd Five-Year Plans of India (1961-66).[13] That canal now has a downstream Palla barrage in Faridabad. Bird SanctuaryOkhla barrage now also serves as the location of Okhla Bird Sanctuary.[14][15][16][17] Downstream on Agra canal is also Keetham Lake National Bird Sanctuary.[18][19][20] PreservationThe road over the barrage was shut for 45 days in September 2017, for repairs to 18 of its 27 water release gates, prior to the arrival of migratory birds in November.[4] Navigation restorationThis barrage on Yamuna is part of National Waterway NW110, one of India's 111 National Waterways. Okhla barrage lies on the following two under-development waterways projects.[28][29]
