There are many benefits of the narmada river. It is submitted that the State of Gujarat in its counter affidavit has claimed that increase in height of the dam from 110.64 m to 121.92 m would lead to three kinds of benefits: Drinking water, Irrigation and Power.

Thus, when dam height was increased from 100 m to 110.63 m, State of Gujarat claimed that this will lead to:

Ø Availability of 3.5 Million Acre Feet (MAF) water for Gujarat and Rajasthan

Ø Additional irrigation to 2.18 to 5 lakh hectares.

Ø Increase in storage capacity from 2600 Million Cubic meters (MCM) to 3700 MCM.

Ø Sufficient water for taking drinking water to whole of Gujarat.
