Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in Gujarat

Ground Water Company is a leading provider of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) solutions in Gujarat, ensuring efficient and sustainable use of water across agriculture, industries, and urban centers. With rapid industrialization, climate change, and increasing water scarcity, Gujarat faces severe water resource challenges. Our holistic water management strategies help optimize water availability, enhance conservation efforts, and secure water for future generations.

Water Resource Challenges in Gujarat

Gujarat’s diverse geography, variable rainfall, and heavy dependence on groundwater create serious water management concerns. Unregulated water usage, inefficient irrigation systems, and pollution further threaten water sustainability

1. Over-Exploitation of Groundwater

• Excessive borewell drilling in regions like Mehsana, Banaskantha, and Patan has led to a rapid decline in groundwater levels.
• Unregulated water extraction for irrigation and industrial use depletes aquifers faster than they can recharge.
• Rising salinity and fluoride contamination due to over-extraction worsen water quality.

2. Water Scarcity & Uneven Distribution

• Saurashtra and Kutch face chronic water shortages, relying heavily on erratic monsoons and distant water sources.
• North Gujarat struggles with recurring droughts, impacting agriculture and drinking water availability.
• Inefficient water storage and distribution systems lead to water wastage in both urban and rural areas.

3. Industrial & Agricultural Water Mismanagement

• Industries in Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Surat consume vast amounts of freshwater, putting stress on local resources.
• Agricultural over-irrigation in Anand, Rajkot, and Bhavnagar leads to waterlogging and soil degradation.
• Lack of efficient wastewater treatment results in pollution of rivers and reservoirs.

4. Climate Change Impact on Water Availability

• Erratic monsoons and rising temperatures affect rain-fed agriculture and water reservoirs.
• Droughts and water scarcity are becoming more frequent, especially in arid regions like Kutch and North Gujarat.
• Flooding in urban areas like Ahmedabad and Surat due to poor drainage and lack of flood control measures.
