Under this mission, Auda has covered 45 villages of Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar districts for the supply of potable water. But, one of the biggest concerns for Auda has been the access to potable water. In an interaction with Bopal and Ghuma residents five years ago, Auda officials. That the residents were using water with exceptionally high TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) as high as 1600 to 2200ppm parts per million) against the acceptable limit of 400-500ppm Auda sources claim that the state government has agreed to provide a seed fund of Rs 285 crore. To accomplish these projects Rs 126 crore will be required for project consultancy and Rs 158 crore for any escalation in price during the implementation of the project.
