Gandhinagar: A desalination plant with capacity to convert 10 crore litre sea water into potable water daily will be operational at Jodiya in district Jamnagar. Memorandum for Understanding(MoU) for same was signed today between Gujarat Water Infrastructure Ltd and Essel Infra projects Ltd in capital Gandhinagar in presence of Chief Minister Vijay Rupani. 

The Chief Minister on this occasion stressed on maximum use of technology to remove scarcity situation.

He said, 'the issue of water has always been critical for Gujarat. With Narmada waters, we have been able to resolve this issue majorly, but we need to bring in variety of water sources. We need to create new sources. The Government of Gujarat completed Sardar Sarovar Narmada project and also started huge movement of ground water recharging in the past'.

He said the State government will also start new desalination plants at Porbandar, Dwarka, Veraval and Ghogha in future for which site survey, feasibility study and techno economical study will begin soon. 

'I want to see green farms in Kutch, Patan and Banakantha's border areas too,' he said adding that smaller capacity desalination plants are also being planned in border area.

He added that desalination plants will be set up at Dahej and Gandhidham by Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation(GIDC) to satisfy the needs of water in industries. 

'Desalination plants of Gujarat will also be a destination to study like Dhanki pumping station of Narmada project,' he further added. 

Speaking on this occasion, senior govt. official JP Gupta said, desalination plants will be able to satisfy the needs of water in areas located away from Narmada project's catchment areas.
