It is truly fascinating when a canal crosses another canal of water! See the Nagla cross regulator inChampawat, Uttarakhand. Fancy a stream of water flowing right across another stream of water, at a greater height! Built in 1928, this is truly an engineering marvel. To provide secured irrigation facility in Nainital, Peelibhit, Bareily, Lakhimpur Kheiri, Shahjahanpur, Hardoi, Unnao, Lucknow, Barabanki, Raebareli, Pratapgarh, Sultanpur, Jaunpur, Azamgarh, Ghazipur and Prayagraj districts located in Sharda/Ghaghra doab of Uttar Pradesh, a barrage has been constructed on Sharda river near Banbasa in Khatima Tehsil of Nainital, from where Sharda Main Canal has been originated (from the right side of barrage).
