The Ken-Betwa River Link Project is associated with which of the following river basins?

  1. Ganga and Yamuna
  2. Ken and Betwa, tributaries of the Yamuna
  3. Narmada and Tapi
  4. Mahanadi and Godavari

Answer

Correct Answer

Ken and Betwa, tributaries of the Yamuna

Explanation

The Ken-Betwa link concerns the interlinking of the Ken and Betwa rivers in the Bundelkhand region; both are tributaries of the Yamuna. The Ganga, Narmada, Tapi, Mahanadi and Godavari belong to different basin contexts. The project is therefore not a link between the river pairs in the other options.
