He said that the signing of the Letter of Intent between the Ministry of Jal Shakti of India and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management of the Netherlands for technical cooperation on the visionary Kalpasar Project of Gujarat is a historic development. This collaboration will open new opportunities for advanced water engineering, freshwater conservation, flood management and integrated infrastructure development in Gujarat.

The Chief Minister wrote that Afsloutdike is a global example in the field of water engineering, which converts challenges into opportunities through innovation and visionary thinking.

Gujarat’s ambitious Kalpsar project similarly envisages creating a huge freshwater reservoir across the Gulf of Khambhat, which will yield wide-ranging benefits in irrigation, water security, tidal energy, connectivity and regional development.
