The Yamuna has been designated as which national waterway?
- A.National Waterway-1
- B.National Waterway-37
- C.National Waterway-110
- D.National Waterway-97
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is National Waterway-110. The Yamuna carries this number under the National Waterways Act, 2016, and the recreational cruise service opened in Delhi on 10 November 2026 is the first step towards using the river for leisure navigation in the capital. Option A is wrong because National Waterway-1 is the Ganga route and not the Yamuna; the launch release named only the Yamuna for this designation. Option B is wrong because the figure 37 does not appear anywhere in the announcement as the Yamuna’s waterway number. Option D is wrong for the same reason: the release states a single designation for the Yamuna, and that number is 110. Candidates should link three things together here: the river, its waterway number and the parent law of 2016, because questions often swap one of the three. The service itself runs between Sonia Vihar and Jagatpur with a 30-seater electric boat.
