Description: Kalpasar Project Moves Closer to Final Planning After Decades of Studies Gujarat’s long-pending Kalpasar Project has returned to attention after the Centre informed Parliament that its Detailed Project Report is at an advanced stage of finalisation. The ambitious scheme proposes constructing a large barrier across the Gulf of Khambhat to create a coastal freshwater reservoir. Water flowing from seven rivers into the gulf would be collected for irrigation, drinking and industrial use. The project is expected to improve water security in drought-prone Saurashtra and support irrigation across approximately 10 lakh hectares in 42 talukas of nine districts. The latest design also proposes a highway-and-rail corridor over the barrier. Under the present alignment, the Bhavnagar–Surat journey could fall from approximately 356 kilometres to 177 kilometres. Around 2,470 megawatts of solar and wind capacity is also proposed on suitable reclaimed land. India and the Netherlands signed a Letter of Intent in May for technical cooperation. Dutch expertise is expected to assist with coastal engineering, hydraulic modelling, climate resilience and management of seawater salinity. However, Kalpasar has not entered full construction. Gujarat’s official project website says the process of including the proposed dyke as a permissible activity under the Coastal Regulation Zone notification remains under consideration by the Union Environment Ministry. Environmental, technical and financial approvals will still be required. [Official project status] Therefore, viral descriptions presenting Kalpasar as an almost-completed “world’s largest freshwater lake” are misleading. The project has gained momentum, but it remains in the planning and approval stage. Subscribe to FactTechz
