Answer 2

Western Yamuna Canal is derived from Yamuna River at Tajewala.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The Tajewala barrage dam was made at the Yamuna to regulate the ‘flow of water’. Earlier because of excessive polluting and silting the water had stopped flowing. During the British Raj, it was renovated with creating the Tajewala barrage to regulate the ‘flow of water’.  

The Yamuna river flows through Delhi and feeds the ‘Agra Canal’ before connecting with the Banganga river. The Yamuna river has a number of dams and barrages along its length and some of the dams are used for hydel power generation.
