Discussion
Which of the following project has brought change in the ecology of Western desert region of Rajasthan?
Answer: C
The project is the Indira Gandhi Canal Project.
The Indira Gandhi Canal carries water from the Harike barrage in Punjab deep into the Thar desert, through Sri Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Barmer and other districts. The irrigation has turned large areas of sand dunes into farmland, but it has also raised the water table, causing waterlogging and salinity, and has changed the desert's vegetation and wildlife.
The Bisalpur project on the Banas supplies water to Ajmer and Jaipur, while the Damodar Valley and Hirakud projects are in Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha.
