The document discusses the Kalpsar Yojna project in Gujarat, India. The project aims to create the world's largest fresh water reservoir by constructing a 30 km long dam in the Gulf of Khambhat. This would help address Gujarat's water scarcity issues, as the state has only 2% of water resources to support 5% of India's population. The project would provide fresh water for irrigation, industry, and municipal use, help solve water problems in Saurashtra region, enable tidal power generation, and improve road connectivity. The estimated cost of the project is 140,000 crore rupees.

5. WHY PROJECT IS REQUIRED ?
• Gujarat is a water scarce state, with 6.39% of geographical area, 5% of
population & only 2% of water resources.
• The excessive pumping of groundwater resulted in intrusion of saline water
up to 10 km of entire coastal belt of Saurashtra.

6. CON….
• In Saurashtra region,only 15 lakh agricultural land will cover under
irrigation (including Sardar Sarovar Project), against 42 lakh ha
agricultural land. Hence, 27 lakh agricultural land will remain rain fed.
• The western and south-western parts of Gujarat always remain
uncertain for water availability for general purpose and for irrigation in
the area.

7. ESTIMATED COST OF THE PROJECT
• As per pre-feasibility report of the project, the cost of project was estimated
of Rs. 53,000 crore (base year 1998) in which the tidal power component
was Rs.33000 crore.
• Considering, average 8% inflation per annum present cost works out to
approximate Rs.1,40,000 crore, in which the tidal power component is
Rs.86,000 crore.
