The construction of the Upper Bari Doab canal started in 1851 and completed in 1879.
The doab is the land between two rivers. 'Bari' doab is situated between rivers 'Beas' and 'Ravi'. Upper Bari Doab canal originates from Pathankot and derives its name from Bari Doab. At that time it was known as the Bari Doab Canal system. The 'Upper' was added to the name only when a second canal, known as Lower Bari Doab canal was dug.
