​​Kalpasar Project

The Kalpasar Project or the Gulf of Khambhat Development Project envisages building a 30 km dam across the Gulf of Khambat in India for establishing a huge fresh water coastal reservoir for irrigation, drinking and industrial purposes. The project with 30 km sea dam will have the capacity to store 10 billion cubic meters fresh water, equating to 25% of Gujarat’s average annual rainwater flow, from the rivers like Narmada, Mahi, Dhadhar, Sabarmati, Limbdi-Bhagovo, and two other minor rivers. A 10 lane road link will also be set up over the dam, greatly reducing the distance between Saurashtra and South Gujarat. The project, which will create world's largest freshwater lake in marine environment, will cost INR90,000 crore or US$12.75 billion (2015-16 estimates with 8% annual inflation) excluding the cost of tidal power plant. Project entails construction of the main "Kalpasar dam" across Gulf of Khambat and another Bhadbhut barrage on Narmada river, as well as a canal connecting the two.

​​Jhulasan

Jhulasan (Gujarati: ઝુલાસણ Jhulāsaṇ) is a small village located in district of Mehsana, Kadi Taluka in the state of Gujarat, India. According to Hasmukh Dhirajlal Sankalia, the name Jhulāsaṇ may be identical to the Kūlāvasaṇa mentioned in medieval epigraphy. Assuming this is the case, then the name is ultimately derived from Sanskrit vasaṇa, meaning "dwelling" or "residence" (of either an individual or a group).[1]: 69–70  There is another belief that some travelers were going from one place to another and decided to rest at this place and made Jula, (swing hanging from the branch of a tree) and liked the place and decided to settle down so they gave the name of this place Jhulasan.
