Tajewala Barrage is a now decommissioned but existing old barrage across the Yamuna River, located in Yamuna Nagar District, in the state of Haryana, India. Completed in 1873, it regulated the flow of the Yamuna for irrigation in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana through two canals originating at this place namely Western Yamuna Canal and ,[1] as well as the municipal water supply to Delhi.
Replaced by the Hathiinikund barrage[]
In 1999, the Hathnikund Barrage was completed to replace the aged Tajewala Barrage which is now out of service.[2]
