Water is important natural resources available for mankind. It is an essential content in every part of life on this earth. Everything is originated from water and everything is sustained by it. In north Gujarat water resources are less than the water requirement. The north Gujarat region has an average annual rainfall of 510 to 1020 mm with a high coefficient of variance over time and space and surface water is not available in sufficient quantity. Also in this region no perennial river exists. Hence ground water utilized as the main sources for agriculture, irrigation, industrial and domestic purposes. Ground water table is being reduced rate of 3 to 5 m per year, as the removal of water is more than recharge in these regions. In a view of above Gujarat faces quantity/quality contamination problem of salinity, fluoride and nitrates. North Gujarat is water scarcity region declare by the Government of Gujarat. However, scientific management of water resources with emphasis on artificial recharge or improvement in recharge system by various project of water conservation, water harvesting, cross drainage structures, linking of drains and tanks etc. in north Gujarat region by Government of Gujarat. Government of Gujarat has taken up rainwater harvesting and groundwater, recharge programs on a large scale in North Gujarat Region.
