Vadodara's water

Mahi riverbed wells, Ajwa's old reservoir, Vishwamitri floods

Vadodara drinks from three very different sources: collector wells in the Mahi, the Ajwa reservoir that has served the city since 1892, and Narmada water at Khanpur. In heavy monsoons the Vishwamitri spills into the city itself.

Of the roughly 457 MLD Vadodara supplies, around 250 MLD comes from radial collector wells in the Mahi riverbed, about 145 MLD from Sayajirao Gaekwad's 1892 Ajwa reservoir, and the rest from tube wells and the Narmada-fed Khanpur plant. VMC planned to interlink the Mahi-based Sindhrot line with Khanpur near the Gotri–Sevasi road so either can cover for the other. Groundwater under Vadodara taluka is over-exploited, and in August 2024 the Vishwamitri flooded Sayajigunj, Karelibaug and Harni. Devyami is headquartered here, and our pumps, controllers and treatment plants are set up for Vadodara's dry months and wet ones alike.

How water reaches you in Vadodara

  1. Step 1

    Mahi and Ajwa

    Radial collector wells in the Mahi riverbed and the Ajwa reservoir east of the city supply most of the raw water, with Narmada canal water treated at Khanpur.

  2. Step 2

    Plants and mains

    Treatment plants push water through trunk mains, and AMRUT 2.0 works add a 150 MLD intake and 75 MLD plant at Raika and a 75 MLD plant at Nimeta.

  3. Step 3

    Area water heads

    Ground reservoirs, booster stations and overhead tanks, including new ones for merged villages such as Bhayli, Sevasi and Bil, feed local networks.

  4. Step 4

    Your sump

    Your sump or overhead tank stores each supply until a pump lifts it to the floors above.

  5. Where we take over

    Your tank, automated

    Sensors read every tank, an APCON controller runs and protects the pump, and the app shows it all on your phone.

Vadodara's water, honestly

What Vadodara throws at your water system, and the fix for each

When the Vishwamitri overflows

On 26 August 2024 Vadodara received nearly 12 inches of rain, and with Ajwa still releasing water the Vishwamitri ran at about 35 ft against a danger mark of 26 ft. Sayajigunj, Karelibaug, Fatehgunj and Harni were among the areas under water, and the river has flooded the city more than eight times since 1994.

How we fix it

Submersible dewatering pumps on float control, sized for your basement or compound, start on rising water and keep going while the river stays high. Mount the panel above the flood line so the controls survive the water.

Power fails along with the water

During the 2024 flood, waist-deep water reached MGVCL's Khatamba substation and office. When feeders trip and come back, pumps that restart unprotected into unstable supply are the ones that burn out.

How we fix it

Our motor driver combines the starter, level control and protection against dry run, overload, under- and over-voltage and single phasing, and restarts the pump only when the supply is healthy.

Several sources, one city

VMC's plan to link the Mahi-based Sindhrot scheme and the Narmada-fed Khanpur scheme near Aarana lawns on the Gotri–Sevasi road exists because maintenance or a fault on one line affects the areas it feeds. New capacity at Raika and Nimeta is being added under AMRUT 2.0.

How we fix it

Our app shows sump and tank levels live and alerts you when an expected fill does not arrive, so you plan around a shutdown instead of discovering it at the tap.

Mineralised borewell water

CGWB classes Vadodara taluka as over-exploited, with groundwater development a little above 100 percent. It reports highly mineralised water at depth south-east of the city and in Padra, and electrical conductivity above 3,000 µS/cm in parts of the district.

How we fix it

Borewell water goes through multigrade filtration, a softener and, for drinking, RO, sized from a water test rather than a guess. For factories and large societies, our RO controller tracks pressure and output quality so the plant does not quietly drift.

Cool January, strong winter sun

IMD normals for Baroda put January nights around 12°C, with roughly nine hours of sunshine a day through the winter months. That is a lot of free heat going unused on most rooftops.

How we fix it

Solar water heaters do most of the work in this climate, with a heat pump covering cloudy spells and early mornings. Our controller schedules heating so the tank is hot when the house wakes up.

Through the year

Vadodara's water, season by season

Summer

May highs average around 41°C, and the Mahi's lean-season flow depends on releases from Kadana through the Wanakbori weir.

Dry-run protection and usage alerts →

Monsoon

July and August bring most of the year's rain, and when Ajwa releases into the Vishwamitri the river can spill into low-lying neighbourhoods.

Dewatering pumps and UV treatment →

Winter

January is the coldest month, with nights near 12°C and long clear days that suit solar heating.

Watch it run

Watch a building in Vadodara run its own water

This is the same diagram our customers see in the app. The sump and the overhead tank are both sensed, and one APCON controller decides when the pump runs.

  • The pump starts when the overhead tank is low, but only if the sump has water to give
  • It stops at your full level, so the tank never overflows
  • Dry run, overload and voltage faults trip it before the motor is damaged
  • Your phone shows each level, each pump run and each alert as it happens

Questions from Vadodara

What people here ask us

Our bungalow in Karelibaug floods in almost every heavy monsoon. What pump setup do we need?

A sealed sump at the lowest point with a submersible dewatering pump on float control, plus a second pump if water comes in from more than one side. Keep the panel above the flood line and add app alerts so you know the pump has started even when you are away.

Is borewell water in Vadodara safe to drink without treatment?

Do not assume so. CGWB reports over-exploitation and mineralised water at depth in parts of the city, so test for TDS, hardness and chloride first. Most borewell homes need filtration and softening for general use and RO for drinking, and we size each stage from the test.

Solar water heater or heat pump for a family home in Gotri?

With around nine hours of winter sunshine, solar does most of the work in Vadodara, and a heat pump backs it up on cloudy days and early mornings. If roof space is tight in a tower, a heat pump alone is the cleaner choice. Either way, we set the controls so the cheaper heat source runs first.

Do you install and service Devyami systems in Vadodara?

Yes. Tell us about your building, society or factory and our engineers design the system around Vadodara's water. A Devyami dealer or installer then installs, commissions and services it locally, and every connected controller can be checked remotely through our platform. The first site consultation is free.

Will the automation keep working without internet or after a power cut?

Yes. Level switching, pressure control, schedules and every motor protection run inside the controller on your wall, not in the cloud. The internet only carries the live view and alerts to your phone. The controller keeps its own real-time clock and remembers its delays through a power cut.

Can you automate my existing pumps and tanks without new wiring?

Usually, yes. The APCON Motor Driver takes the old starter panel’s place on the wall, on the pump and tanks you already have. Wireless level sensors reach terrace and underground tanks where running a cable would mean breaking walls. A single-pump retrofit is usually done in a few hours.
