Dholera Smart City, a flagship initiative under India’s Smart City Mission, is set to redefine urban living with its innovative infrastructure and sustainable practices.
At the heart of this ambitious development lies the Kalpasar Dam Project—a transformative venture poised to significantly impact the region’s socio-economic landscape.
Historical Context and Genesis
The idea of damming the Gulf of Khambhat to create a freshwater reservoir dates back to the 1960s. Initially conceived as a solution to Gujarat’s perennial water scarcity, the project has undergone several iterations and feasibility studies over the decades.
The sheer scale of the project, along with its technological and environmental challenges, has led to multiple delays. However, recent advancements in engineering and renewed political will have brought the project back into focus, with significant implications for the future of Dholera SIR.
