The Kalpasar project - Gujarat under the gulf of khambhat development project is mainly water resources project by way of building a Over the Sea dam across gulf of khambhat.
The objective to establishing huge fresh water reservoir for meeting demand of drinking, irrigation, domestic and industrial water water supply. and its supplementary objective as a benefit from kalpasar project is to reservoir use of top of the dam across the gulf as a surface transport link, potential development of fisheries , reclamation of saline land and project related to renewable energy.
If this project complete than it becomes World's Largest man made fresh water reservoir in the Sea.

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.
3. Refernce to Related project:
The Dutch project :- By building a 32.5 km long dam in the sea called Afsluitdijk, a huge fresh water lake has been created. Using this fresh water, a land admeasuring 165,000hectares has been desalinated and reclaimed. This happened in 1932.
