Water Works
Gondal Water Supply scheme was brought into being a generation ago.
The Veri tank at Gondal supplies water to the town as well as
irrigates the land around. A scheme to increase its capacity by
providing automatic gates is brought to a successful completion. By
this, the storage capacity is increased by about 70 percent. The
noteworthy point about this scheme is that everything from a little
bolt to heavy forgings and castings is made after a local design
under local supervision, by the local labour. The actual cost came
to Rs. 39,000 against 1,20,000, the lowest of the estimates quoted
by various firms in India and England.
A water
supply scheme for Upleta has been launched. The scheme consists of
an infilteration well in the river Mouj, and an overhead tank near
Dargargadh and an extensive distributing system.
A
similar scheme for pumping Bhadar waters into the house taps at
Dhoraji is under construction. The cost of the two water supply
schemes will be about Rs. 12,00,000.
Village water supply is not neglected. A scheme for improving every
village well making it sanitarily safe, providing it with cattle
trough and separate bathing places for men and women and arranging
for its proper cleaning and drainage is under consideration.
