Explanation

The passage explicitly states: "in the Sutluj-Beas river basin, the Bhakra–Nangal project water is being used both for hydel power production and irrigation." Common distractor is Damodar (associated with DVC) or Mahanadi (Hirakud Dam). Remember: Bhakra-Nangal → Sutluj-Beas; Hirakud → Mahanadi.
