Scarcity of water is generally caused by improper management of water resources which also inhibits the growth of the nation. One of the many ways to solve the problem of shortage of water is by constructing the canal or dam network. The enormous task of linking the dam requires multidisciplinary investigations. Hydrological and agricultural parameters prove a dominant role in the selection of suitable path for the construction of the canal. The Saurashtra Narmada Avtaran Irrigation Yojana is programmed to resolve the water crisis of the scarce regions of Saurashtra. The Yojana is divided into 4 links. This paper deals with the study of the alignment of these 4 links of the “SAUNI YOJANA” with the help of ArcGIS and QGIS software
