18 years later, India's longest underground water tunnel links Narmada to Son basin: How this engineering feat will transform irrigation across 6 MP districts
India's longest underground water tunnel, Sleemanabad Tunnel, has achieved a breakthrough. This engineering feat connects Narmada waters to the Son basin after eighteen years. The tunnel will provide irrigation to nearly 2.45 lakh hectares of farmland. Construction faced tough geological conditions and significant cost escalation. The project aims to bring water to drought-prone regions through gravity flow.
