Explanation

The Damanganga Reservoir Project, also known as the Madhuban Dam project, is a multi-purpose irrigation scheme located on the Daman Ganga River. The project is a joint venture involving the state of Gujarat and the Union Territories of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu [1]. The reservoir's submergence area significantly impacts the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, which is described as a completely rural area in this context. The project includes an extensive network of canals, including approximately 115 km of minor canals and distributaries designed to provide irrigation, drinking water, and industrial water supply to the region [1]. Geographically, the Daman Ganga river system is classified among the medium and minor rivers of the Gujarat and Daman region. Consequently, among the given options, Dadra and Nagar Haveli is the correct location associated with this specific reservoir and canal infrastructure.
