The Shekhawati belt – comprising Churu, Jhunjhunu, Sikar and surrounding talukas – is expected to be the primary beneficiary of the underground water transfer system. Officials project that millions of residents will gain reliable drinking water, while farmers will receive sufficient flow for irrigation. The project is described as a "lifeline" that could reverse years of water stress and stimulate growth in a region that has struggled with scarcity.
