'''Tamirabarani–Nambiar Link Canal''' is a proposed canal in the south Indian state of [[Tamil Nadu]] which will link [[Tamirabarani]], [[Karumeniyar]] and [[Nambiyar river|Nambiyar]] rivers. Tamil Nadu depends heavily on water from the rivers originating from the neighbouring states of [[Kerala]] and [[Karnataka]]. The state government has envisioned a project which should potentially benefit the drier regions of the Tirunelveli and Tuticorin districts of the state. The project is expected to use the 13,000 mcft surplus water in Tamirabarani river.<ref>[http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Client.asp?Daily=TOICH&login=default&Enter=true&Skin=TOI&GZ=T Times of India, 16 June 2008] {{deadlink|date=July 2020}}</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080324230603/http://www.hindu.com/2008/03/21/stories/2008032160171200.htm Tamil Nadu to take up river linking projects]</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=River interlinking must be a national priority|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/interelinking-of-rivers-should-be-take-up-under-npp-tn-chief-minister-115010600577_1.html|website=businessstandard.com|publisher=Business Standard|accessdate=13 February 2016}}</ref><br />
== Project ==<br />
6,038 hectares of land will benefit by irrigation and 17,002 hectares of land will benefit from the ground water being recharged. 694 hectares of land will be acquired from [[Tirunelveli]] district and 106 hectares will be acquired from [[Tuticorin]] district for the implementation of the project.<br />
<br />
== Route ==<br />
The water will be diverted from [[Tamirabarani]] river at the third anaicut at the confluence of [[Manimuthar River (tributary of Thamirabarani)|Manimutharu]] and [[Papanasam]] rivers through the existing [[Kannadian canal]] for about 37&nbsp;km. A new barrage will be constructed 6.4&nbsp;km downstream to divert the water further which will be linked with Kannadian canal and the new canal will run for about 73&nbsp;km till it reaches [[Thisayanvilai]] near to the [[Gulf of Mannar]]. A barrage of several small interlinking canal across this canal is additionally expected to benefit more land.<br />
