Summary:
AdvertisingNormally, Gujarat gets around 9 MAF water from the Narmada river basin as per the Narmada Water Disputes Tribunal’s final award in 1979. Gujarat is likely to get around 6.83 million acre feet (MAF) water from Narmada river basin area owing to less rainfall in the river’s catchment areas, Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel said in a statement on Saturday. “The 600 cusec water is now being released through Garudeshwar Weir since a gate has been installed there,” he said. Last year, Gujarat had got only 4.71 MAF water from the river basin. The 600 cusec water was earlier being released from Godbole Gate..
