Gujarat Ensures Daily Water Supply in 100+ Cities, Expands to 30 More Towns

The Gujarat government has fast-tracked projects to ensure daily water supply in over 100 cities, with major works underway in more than 30 additional towns. Under 'Mission Daily Water Supply', urban water resources have been increased by nearly 93 MLD and transmission systems expanded by over 528 km. A SCADA system has been implemented for digital monitoring, aiding in leak detection and improving distribution efficiency. The initiative, part of the 'Urban Development Year', aims to provide reliable potable water and enhance the ease of living for urban citizens.

Gujarat: Daily water supply available in over 100 cities, big-ticket projects underway in 30 more towns

Gujarat government ensures daily water supply in 103 cities, with major projects underway in 30+ towns under Mission Daily Water Supply.

Gandhinagar, Jan 6

Taking forward its mission of developing world-class cities and providing efficient civic amenities including clean drinking water, the Gujarat government has fast-tracked a slew of projects to build robust water supply chains across the state.

"Urban water resources have been increased by 92.97 MLD while transmission systems have been expanded by 528.35 KM in 2025," said the government in a statement.

It also informed that the daily water supply has been ensured in 103 cities while many big-ticket projects are underway in more than 30 towns for ensuring uninterrupted supply.

As part of its 'Mission Daily Water Supply', the state government is ensuring water supply including potable water in all urban areas of the state. Under this program, the state government supports urban local bodies in carrying out various water supply and sanitation projects.

Notably, the Bhupendra Patel government declared 2025 as 'Urban Development Year' to fast-track the development of world-class cities, with a special focus on strengthening infrastructure facilities across urban areas.

Besides established daily water supply chains in over 100 cities, extensive works are currently underway in 32 urban local bodies under the 'Mission Daily Water Supply'.

The SCADA system has been successfully implemented in major cities to facilitate digital monitoring of water distribution and other water resource-related services in urban areas.

The system helps with leak detection, identification of low-pressure pockets, non-revenue water reduction (NRW), improvement in per capita water supply with the required pressure, pumping stations monitoring to ensure optimal pumping efficiency, valve monitoring, and other operational functions. As a result, losses due to non-revenue water have been reduced, and real-time monitoring of water distribution and related services have become possible.

Notably, the adequate availability of drinking water daily, reduced the need for citizens to depend on long-term water storage. Also, it lowers dependence on alternative water sources.

Through structured and planned urban development, the administration has reiterated its resolve to improve the ease of living for urban citizens.

Good initiative by the state government. Water is a basic necessity and ensuring daily supply in over 100 cities is a big achievement. However, I hope the focus is also on the quality of water being supplied. Clean, potable water is the real goal, not just quantity.

As someone from a smaller town included in the 30 with projects underway, we are eagerly waiting. The summer months are always a struggle. If this 'Mission Daily Water Supply' delivers as promised, it will be a life-changer for my family and neighbours.

The technical details about reducing non-revenue water (NRW) through leak detection are crucial. So much water is lost in our aging distribution systems. Investing in this digital infrastructure is a forward-thinking step for sustainable urban management. Other states should take note.

While the projects sound impressive on paper, the real test is maintenance and equitable distribution. In many colonies, the pressure is still too low for water to reach the top floors. Hope the monitoring system addresses these ground-level issues effectively.

Declaring 2025 as 'Urban Development Year' shows commitment. Water supply is the backbone of a city. Relieving citizens from the stress of water storage is a huge quality-of-life improvement. My parents in Rajkot have already mentioned the difference. Well done! 👏
