Lost Saraswati River of the Vedic era set to flow again


The 'lost' Saraswati 'river' of theVedic era is all set to come back alive and flow again later this month. The government of Haryana is drawing up the final plans to release water into what is widely believed to be the route of the Vedic era river and preparations for the same are going on.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 21 July 2016.
It seems the Saraswati Heritage Development Board (SHDB) has already approved a proposal and water would be discharged into the river route from Uncha Chandana village on July 30 through the Dadupur feeder. Right now, cleaning work is underway at the Dadupur feeder. The route of the water is expected to be through Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra and Kaithal districts. Once the river starts flowing, it is expected to be augmented by the Monsoon.
Under the long-term plan, the government has plans to build a dam at Adi Badri, where the 'lost' river is believed to have originated. A committee that had been set up by the Central government and led by former Kumaon University vice-chancellor Prof KS Valdiya is already verifying Haryana’s claims pertaining to the discovery of the Vedic era river.
