Abstracts: The Gulf of Khambhat Development Project is mainly water resources project involving creation of fresh water reservoir in the Gulf of Khambhat for meeting demand of irrigation, domestic and industrial water supply. Associated components related to the fresh water reservoir are use of top of the dam across the Gulf as a surface transport link, potential development of fisheries, and reclamation of saline land around the fresh water reservoir. An important condition for the development of the Narmada River into a transport link of the inter-modal transport system of Central India, is the availability of adequate port facilities at the river mouth allowing the transfer of cargo to/from ocean-going vessels from/to the inland waterway fleet. Such port facilities are anticipated to be developed in the framework of the KALPASAR project.
