Bargarh Main Canal

Bargarh main canal is the main section of the Hirakud Dam starting at right bank of the dam, near Burla. This canal releases 4,000 cubic feet per second (110 m3/s) of water for irrigation and industrial usage . The main canal then splits into two parts. The minor part traverses from Katapali towards Bargarh town and further towards Bheden block. Main part of the canal goes straight towards Barpali, Sonepur and Bolangir. Bheden block is known to be the "tail" area of the canal and often faces shortage of water from the irrigation system. rdf:langString
