River Training Works and 7200 Km long drainage network for proper drainage of rain water to save the agriculture land from fury of floods and to check the water logging in the water logged areas. The length of various rivers Embankment thereof falling in Punjab State are as below:

  • River Beas L = 256.43 Km, Embankment = 215.84 Km,
  • River Sutlej L = 582.68 Km, Embankment = 484.12 Km,
  • River Ravi L = 141.29 Km, Embankment = 245.28 Km
  • River Ghaggar L = 165.00 Km, Embankment = 252.81 Km
