The Section B of Sardar
Sarovar Canal-based drinking water supply project starting from
Vallabhipur (Bhavnagar district) and terminating at Veraval (Junagadh
district) caters to the drinking water need of coastal areas of
Bhavnagar, Amreli and Junagadh districts. The water demand of
659 villages and 38 towns of 9 talukas of Bhavnagar district,
excluding industrial demand, have already been covered under
different packages of planned activities.
The water demand of 521 villages and 36 urban centers of Amreli
and Junagadh district and industrial demand of all the three
districts under Section B is yet to be covered. The current
proposal aims at enhancing drinking water security in the
coastal areas of Amreli and Junagadh, which suffer from ground
water depletion and increase in salinity. It will cater to a
population of 17.87 lakh. WASMO proposes to implement the
project with the help of Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board
(GWSSB), Gujarat Water Infrastructure Company Limited (GWIL) and
other related organisations.
Project coverage: 521 villages and 36 urban centres of Amreli
and Junagadh districts and the industrial centres in Amreli,
Bhavnagar and Junagadh |
