CURRENT
Earlier the water system in Gujarat was known to be in the pure form and was even being provided to many water needy places like kutch, saurastra and even north Gujarat. The narmada project’s drinking water was state wide and was even considered to be a master plan as it was aimed in covering up 9490 villages and 173 towns in Gujarat, it was being executed by Gujarat water supply and sewage board shortly known as GWSSB. The Gujarat state government even decided in taking up the responsibility of reform of the water sector in the mission mode approach. In this approach the committees are being formed as pani samitis. It is being made village wise to take care and maintain the infrastructure at the village and even to create an intra-village water supply distribution channel. This was because the nigam supply of water to Gujarat water supply ended up in march 2017 for 8203 villages and 159 towns that is a huge cause to worry about. It directly gave water to 22 industrious cities including vadodara, ahmedabad, bharuch, kapadvanj, etc.

HISTORY:

From the smallest village to the largest cities in the state the conservation of the water is being done here. In ahmedabad the availability of water is being done by rain water harvesting and even by step wells and by the ancient irrigation system. In ancient ahmedabad people used to store water by storing rain water and using it later on for the purpose as per their own needs and wish. The  Queen udayamati made rani ki vav constructed for her people in 11th century. It was even very helpful for water in the state. it even useful for people of dry cities of Gujarat like kutch, etc.
