The Saurashtra region of Gujarat has been experiencing severe droughts for few decades due to reduction in ground water table and scarcity of fresh water. To meet the freshwater demand for drinking, agriculture and improvement in groundwater resources, the Government of Gujarat (GoG) proposed an ambitious project called Kalpasar Project which involves construction of dyke with a length of about 60.13 km out of which about 26.7 km length will be in the Gulf (sea portion) and 33.43 km length is extended on both flanks upto nearest road across the Gulf of Khambhat.
Following are the project components would be taken by Kalpasar department under this proposal for development are as follows:
1. Construction of 60.13 km of dyke i.e., 26.7km length will be in the Gulf (sea portion) and 13.6 km length towards east i.e., Bharuch district and 19.83 km towards west i.e., Bhavnagar district
2. Fresh water reservoir will be created in upstream of dyke with capacity of 7800 million cubic meters.
3. A 150m wide road/rail corridor i.e., 16 lane roadways along with 4-lane permanent way for rail transport is proposed to be built over the Dyke
