storage capacities have been fixed as 413.57 Mm3 and 401.55 Mm3 respectively. The divertable water yield to Mumbai city at Pinjal dam site at 75% dependability (as fixed by Government of Maharashtra) is 332 Mm3. Thus, a combined release of 43.84 cumecs of water i.e. 3741MLD will be diverted through Pinjal reservoir. Figure 2 shows typical layout of linking Damangaga and Pinjal rivers. Figure 2: Linking Damanganga and Pinjal rivers 1.3. The Beas-Sutlej link is 37.25 km long of which 25.45 km is tunnel through difficult rock formations. The capacity of the tunnel is 254.70 cumec. The main storage on Satluj is at Bhakra, while that on Beas is at Pong. A diversion dam at Pandoh, 140 km upstream of Pong, enables diversion of water from Beas to Bhakra reservoir and generates 165 MW of power. Bhakra system provides irrigation to 26.3 lakh ha. of new area besides stabilization of existing irrigation of 9 lakh ha. The aggregate generation capacity of power on Bhakra Nangal Project is 1,354 MW. Beas-Satluj link in combination with the Indira Gandhi Nahar Project is a example of how the large inter basin transfers brought about all round socio-economic growth with overall enhancement in the ecology and environment of the region. 1533
