The River Yamuna has been designated as which National Waterway?

  1. A.National Waterway-1
  2. B.National Waterway-10
  3. C.National Waterway-110
  4. D.National Waterway-11

Correct answer

C. National Waterway-110

Explanation

The correct answer is National Waterway-110. The Yamuna received this designation under the National Waterways Act, 2016, and it is on this waterway that Delhi's first recreational river cruise has been developed, along the Sonia Vihar to Jagatpur stretch. Option A refers to a different and much older waterway on another river system, and is a common distractor because candidates remember National Waterway-1 as the first declared waterway in the country. Options B and D, giving 10 and 11, are near misses designed to catch a candidate who recalls only part of the number. For the examination it is worth linking three things together: the river, the waterway number assigned to it, and the Act of 2016 that created the present list of national waterways.
