  • A Case Study of Gujarat State, India Dr
    The role of water technology in development: a case study of Gujarat State, India Dr. Rajiv Kumar Gupta, IAS, Government of Gujarat, Republic of India Type of tool: technology Location: Gujarat State, India Introduction This article traces the historical water problem in Gujarat both for drinking and irrigation that affected the development of the State, caused regional imbalances and increased incidence of rural poverty. Technological initiatives like the State Wide Water Grid, Micro Water Harvesting, Inter-Basin Transfer of Water and Power Sector Reforms have changed the entire water scenario in the State. There has been a great deal of emphasis on peoples’ participation in water governance as well. Water challenges in Gujarat Gujarat has just 2.28% of India’s water resources and 6.39% of country’s geographical area. This is again constrained by imbalances in intra-state distribution. The State has an average annual rainfall of 80 cm with a high coefficient of variance over time and space and as a result droughts have been frequent. Out of 185 rivers, the State has only eight perennial rivers and all of them are located in southern part. Around 80% of the State’s surface water resources are concentrated in central and southern Gujarat, whereas the remaining three-quarters of the State has only 20%. On average, three years in a cycle of 10 years have been drought years. Since Indian independence in 1947, the drought years of Gujarat have been as follows: 1951, 1952, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1962, 1963, 1965, 1968, 1969, 1972, 1974, 1980, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991, 1999, 2000 and 2003 (Gupta, 2004).

Major Charles Mant was the architect. It is reputed to have been the largest private dwelling built till date and four times the size of Buckingham Palace. At the time of construction it boasted the most modern amenities such as elevators and the interior is reminiscent of a large European country house. It remains the residence of the Royal Family, who continue to be held in high esteem by the residents of Baroda. Its ornate Darbar Hall, which is sometimes the venue of music concerts and other cultural events, has a Venetian mosaic floor, Belgium stained glass windows and walls with intricate mosaic decorations. Outside of the Darbar Hall is an Italinate courtyard of water fountains. The palace houses a remarkable collection of old armoury and sculptures in bronze, marble & terracotta by Fellici.
