Requirement:

The western and south-western parts of Gujarat always remain uncertain for water availability for general purpose and for irrigation in the area. Further the ground water around coastal area, which extends almost 60-70 % of the periphery of the state found not suitable for farming and also for general use. The efforts for making water available in this region has been made by construction of dams on rivers available in that part of the state, however which did not suffice the quantum of  water requirement largely due to poor monsoon. 

The state of Gujarat being one of the most advanced industrial states in the country, the power requirement for nurturing these industries is also one of the major issues which need to be addressed for bringing prosperity to the state. Presently supply of  power is being met by thermal power plants which is much below the total electricity requirement of the state.
