Physical Relief of Bundelkhand
The northern part of Bundelkhand, almost entirely in UP, is a flat
plain. In the central and southern part are rocky outcrops, stepped
Vindhyan plateaus that rise 300 to 450 m above sea level, and broken
hill ranges up to a height of 600 m. Hill ranges are prominent in Panna
and Damoh districts, in the southeast, and Sagar district, in the
southwest. All major rivers of the region flow from south to north,
emptying into the Yamuna. |

Proposed Ken-Betwa Link
The Ken-Betwa link plan, prepared by the National Water Development
Agency (under Union Ministry of Water Resources) envisages a dam across
the Ken at Daudhan, 2.5 km upstream of the existing Gangau weir, in
Panna district, feeding a 231-km long canal that will end at the
existing Barwa Sagar reservoir on the Barwa, a tributary of the Betwa,
near Jhansi. Around 8,650 hectares will be submerged; most of is forest
area. |
