From the Ghaggar river, which is located in the upper section of Panchkula, distributes water to five canals created for irrigation purposes. The water is supplied by the canals to Mansa Devi from Nada Sahib. Centered round these five water canals, the name of Panchkula is originated. The river has worn out the Nada Canal. In the direction of Mansa Devi and through the Chandamandir Cantonment, the major portion of the kuls passes. An excellent illustration of public assets is these canals. The length of the canal is divided amongst the village people, in order to maintain and take proper care of it. The days are also predefined amongst these people. Long ago, a monarch had constructed these canals. The route of the canals adheres to the outline of the terrain and thus, water is taken to a much higher altitude than the river at the same spot.
