Kalpasar’ means a lake that fulfills all wishes. The word originates from the Hindu mythological ‘Kalpavriksha’ – a tree that fulfills wishes. The project visualizes a gigantic fresh water lake-dam to be created by closing the Gulf of Khambhat (in the Arabian Sea) and thereby harness the excess water of Narmada, Mahi, Sabarmati and Dhadar rivers. Kalpasar is one of the most progressive projects undertaken by the Government of Gujarat, and holds the potential to fulfill long-term water needs of the state.
