Water Quality: The water quality of Uben, Lol, Ozat, Megal and Devka rivers were taken for
monitoring the surface water quality. Borewells are the major source of water for drinking and
other domestic purposes in villages and towns. Samples from borewells at Sahajanand Swami
Gurukul, at the junction near Panidhra Village and Jetpur Industrial Area have been taken for
detailed analysis. The monitoring stations have been depicted in Figure 4-7.
