The Arrah Canal is a major canal of the Sone Canal System, located in the Bhojpur district (formerly Shahabad district) of Bihar, India.At the time of its construction, the region was part of the Bengal Presidency. Constructed in the early 20th century as a distributary of the Western Main Canal, it was designed to irrigate nearly 150,000 acres of agricultural land for both the Kharif and Rabi seasons. Today, it is a key component of what is known as the Sone Low Level Canal System and receives its water from the Indrapuri Barrage.
