> Gulf of Khambat
>   
> The Kalpasar Project 
> for establishing a huge reservoir for fresh water
> in the sea for irrigation, drinking and industrial purposes.
> A 10 lane road link will also be set up over the dam,
> reducing the distance by 200 km between Saurashtra
> South Gujarat and Mumbai.

> Gujarat is a water deficient State.
>  
> It occupies 6.4 % of land area of the country and
> has 5% of the country’s population.
> Its surface water resource is only 2% of the country.
>  
> The per capita per annum water availability is 990 cubic meter
> which is much below the min requirement of 1700 cubic meter.
>  
> The Gulf of Khambhat 30 km dam will store about
> 10,000 million cubic meter water inflows of Narmada, Dhadhar,
> Mahi, Sabarmati and some of the Saurashtra rivers.
>  
>  
> 
>  
>  
> Creation of this fresh water reservoir does not involve any land acquisition.
>  
> This will be World’s largest man made fresh water reservoir in the  sea.
> Sufficient irrigation and drinking  water for Saurashtra and Central Gujarat .
> Double the Sardar Sarovar (Narmada Reservoir) capacity.
> Time of completion 5 to 7 years.
> More than 60 existing dams will get permanently filled up with water.
> Wind and solar energy will be generated
> Water of coastal area of Saurashtra & Central Gujarat
>         will get converted into fresh water with reduction in soil salinity.
> World class industrial estate in Dahej and Dholera (SIR).
