  2. Girna Project: This project is situated on the Girna River, which is a major tributary of the Tapi River. It is located in the Nashik and Jalgaon districts of Maharashtra.

  3. Pamba Project: This project is built on the Pamba River, the third longest river in Kerala. It is a key irrigation scheme serving the Pathanamthitta and Alappuzha districts of Kerala.
