Explanation:

The 'Triple Canal Project' was a system of link canals constructed by the Punjab Public Works Department (PWD). The scheme was sanctioned in 1905, and fully in service in 1917; the canals being the Upper Jhelum, Upper Chenab, and Lower Bari Doab. The Chief Engineer was John Benton. The scheme involved the construction of three great canals to carry 27,000 cubic feet(5765 cu. mtr) of water per second for the irrigation of 1,750,000 acres(700,000 ha), canals totalling 433 miles(700km) in length, with 3,010 miles(4800km) of distributaries and 20,000 miles(32,000km) of water courses.
