The project – part of the ambitious Ramjal Setu ERCP project – comprises a sedal dam on the Chambal in Rawatbhata and the 126 km carrier channel. This will ensure availability of adequate water in the Bisalpur dam for drinking water supply to a large number of towns including the state capital Jaipur, Ajmer, Tonk and Dausa.
