- Gujarat is constructing its first two air-filled rubber dams across the Heran River in Chhota Udepur district and the Ambika River in Tapi district.
- The Rajvasana Rubber Dam and Pathakwadi Rubber Dam use South Korean technology for water storage, irrigation, and flood management.
- An air-filled rubber dam uses an inflatable rubber bladder that is raised or lowered to control water flow.
- The two projects have a combined cost of over ₹162 crore and use SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) automation systems.
- The dams will support irrigation and help manage flood flows by allowing excess water and silt to pass during heavy rainfall.
