Note 42 — Chapter IV · The Punjab Triple Canal Project.[41]
Reading edition
Doab means “two waters,” or the tract between two rivers. The names of the three Doabs under consideration are formed from those of the rivers. They are called the Jech (Jhelum-Chenab), Rechna (Ravi-Chenab), and Bari (Beas-Ravi) Doabs.
[43] It would be very expensive to bring water for this tract from the Beas and across the Sutlej.
