SARDAR SAROVAR DAM
It was the late Sardar Vallabhabhai Patel who conceived the idea of constructing a dam over the river Narmada in for the optimum use of Narmada waters for the welfare of the Nation.
The Sardar Sarovar Dam is a gravity dam on the Narmada River near Navagam, Gujarat in India.
It is the largest dam and part of the Narmada Valley Project, a large project involving the construction of a series of large irrigation and hydroelectric multi-purpose dams on the Narmada River. The project took form in 1979 as part of a development scheme to increase irrigation and produce hydroelectricity.

9. Present statistic of Sardar Sarovar
For the first time in its history, the Sardar Sarovar Dam across Narmada river started overflowing at the level of metres.
The highest level of water at the dam earlier was metres July 29, 2013.
The dam is overflowing because of the heavy rains in catchment areas of Madhya Pradesh.
Due to the heavy rains in the catchment area of Narmada Dam as well as release of 1.5 lakh cusecs water last Friday and 2.5 lakh cusecs water last Saturday.

10. BENEFITS OF SARDAR SAROVAR
Irrigation :The Sardar Sarovar Project will provide irrigation facilities to lac ha. of land, covering 3112 villages of 73 talukas in 15 districts of Gujarat.
It will also irrigate 2,46,000 ha. of land in the strategic desert districts of Barmer and Jallore in Rajasthan and 37,500 ha. in the tribal hilly tract of Maharashtra through lift.
About 75% of the command area in Gujarat is drought prone while entire command  in Rajasthan is drought prone. Assured water supply will soon make this area drought proof.

11. BENEFITS OF SARDAR SAROVAR
Drinking water supply : A special allocation of 0.86 MAF of water has been made to provide drinking water to 131 urban centres and 9633 villages (53% of total villages of Gujarat) within and out-side command in Gujarat for present population of 29 million and prospective population of over 40 million by the year All the villages and urban centres of arid region of Saurashtra and Kachchh and all "no source" villages and the villages affected by salinity and fluoride in North Gujarat will be benefited.

12. BENEFITS OF SARDAR SAROVAR
Power : There are two power houses viz. River Bed Power House and Canal Head Power House with an installed capacity of 1200 MW and 250 MW respectively. The power would be shared by three states - Madhya Pradesh - 57%, Maharashtra - 27% and Gujarat 16%. This will provide a useful peaking power to western grid of the country which has very limited hydel power production at present.
A series of micro hydel power stations are also planned on the branch canals where convenient falls are available.

13. BENEFITS OF SARDAR SAROVAR
Flood Protection : It will also provide flood protection to riverine reaches measuring 30,000 ha. covering 210 villages and Bharuch city and a population of 4.0 lac in Gujarat.
Wild Life : Wild life sanctuaries viz. "Shoolpaneshewar wild life sanctuary" on left Bank, Wild Ass Sanctuary in little Rann of Kachchh, Black Buck National Park at Velavadar, Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary in Kachchh, Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary and Alia Bet at the mouth of River will be benefited.

14. BENEFITS OF SARDAR SAROVAR
Additional Production : SSP would generate electricity. On completion, annual additional agricultural production would be Rs crores, power generation and water supply Rs. 175 crores, aggregating about Rs crores every year equivalent to about Rs. 6.0 crores a day.
