In the beginning, it was available for navigation, in Delhi, Gurgaon, Mathura and Agra Districts, and Bharatpur State, which was stopped in 1904.
The Canal receives its water from the Yamuna River at Okhla, about ten miles below in Delhi. The weir across the Yamuna was the first attempted in Upper India upon a foundation of fine sand; it is about 800-yard long, and rises seven-feet above the summer level of the river.
From Okhla the canal follows the high land between the Khari-Nadi and the Yamuna and finally joins the Banganga river about below Agra. Navigable branches connect the canal with Mathura and Agra .
