Gujarat has always been a state with scarce rainfall...to the extent that when Mr. Suresh Mehta was the CM, the state had to resort to Cloud seeding and artificial rains.
Hence its necessary that the people of Gujarat be acclaimatised with methods of water conservation. Shri Narendra Modi’s razor-sharp mindset captured this capacity of the Gujaratis and programmed it to be utilized for welfare and betterment of the society.
Many schemes and yojnas adopted for water reservoir and conservation have tendered Gujarat, to be a Tanker free state.
The height of Narmada Dam has been raised, which has yielded production of energy for Gujarat and the water shortage of the neighbouring state Rajasthan was also allieviated to a great extent due to canal network.
In every rural region, more and more lakes and ponds have been dug deeper, which has aided in increasing the water level.
The dedicated movement prevailing since last decade, to create well equipped water administration system, has enriched about six and a half lakh farmer’s lives, through 5,09,162 water reservoirs.

With unlimited dedicated efforts by the current govt. has bestowed upon the people with Sardar Sarovar project. The 121.98 meter height of the dam has enabled the water flow into 458 km. long canal, which benefits 5 lakh farmers of the state.
