The '''Palla barrage''' is a [[barrage (dam)|barrage]] located in [[Palla, Faridabad|Palla]] on the [[Yamuna]]-Faridabad canal in [[Faridabad district]] of [[Haryana]] state in [[India]]. This irrigation canal runs to the west of Yaumna through Fridabad, Palwal, Mathura and Agra districts where it terminates in the farms. [[Palla, Faridabad]] is not to be confused with [[Palla, Delhi]], a Yamuna pollution monitoring station 23 km upstream of [[Wazirabad barrage]].<ref name=pal1>Karunesh Saxena and Nityesh Bhatt, 2007, [https://books.google.com/books?isbn=8179061701 Environment management practices: an Indian outlook], Page 204.</ref><ref name=pal2>Uberoi, 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?isbn=8174463402 Environmental Management], Page 192.</ref>
