Saurashtra Narmada Avtaran Irrigation Yojna, or SAUNI, is a project that aims to solve the water problems of the draught-prone Saurashtra region of Gujarat.
According to reports, the Rs 12,000 crore project involves filling up 115 dams in the region with excess water from the Sardar Sarovar dam through a network of canal and pipelines.
The project is expected to help irrigate 4.13 lakh hectres in Saurashtra.
