Durgavati Canal information


Durgavati Canal also known as Kudra Wier Canal or Kudra Project Canal, is a canal located in Kaimur District of Bihar, India. During the British Raj, after Punjab and Agra and Uttarakhand, the government focused on the regions of Buxar, Ghazipur, and Kaimur, which grew the most crops in Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh. The British and Indian governments built many canals in the 1870s-1950s to increase the irrigation of these regions, especially the parganas of Kamsar, Zamania, Sherpur, Ramgarh, Durgawati, Chainpur, Bhabua, Kudra, Kochas, Buxar and Chausa. In these regions mostly Kamsaar Raj and later Chainpur estate and Jagdishpur estate existed. These places also (excluding Buxar) made up the pargana of the Nawab of Ghazipur. These regions had 20 rivers, so irrigation was easy and many canals and tributaries were built to support and improve agriculture there.[1][2][3]
