Towards drinking water security: WASMO projects in the offing
 
The Government of Gujarat is committed to ensure drinking water security to its people. A well designed strategy that addresses the whole spectrum of drinking water security is being implemented. This will:

Create sustainable and safe drinking water sources.

Make adequate drinking water available to perpetually water scarce and water quality affected villages.

Provide drinking water to tribal populations in South and Central Gujarat through rainwater harvesting and low-cost, easy to managee gravity-based water supply systems.

Transfer bulk water through the Narmada Canal based drinking water project to 8,215 villages and 135 towns in Kutch, Saurashtra and North Gujarat.

Replenish parched aquifers, surface waterbodies and reservoirs, and provide drinking water through Sujalam Suphalam Yojana in 10 worst drought-affected districts.

Link these efforts with 484 regional water supply schemes.
 

This will lead to formation of a water supply grid, which will provide safe drinking water to around 14,000 villages and 174 towns by 2007. However, there are some areas of the state which will not be covered extensively as a part of this state wide grid. To fill these gaps and to ensure drinking water security, WASMO has conceived several new projects, for which funding is sought from various sources, both international and national. Some of the new projects which WASMO would like to take up are:
