G20 in India. The second meeting of the Environment and Climate Sustainability Working Group (ECSWG) will be held, as part of the G20 programme, from 27 to 29 March 2023 in Gandhinagar, the capital of the state of Gujarat.
“The 2nd ECSWG will begin with a side event on water resource management, in which G20 member countries will present their best practices in water resource management.
This will be followed by an excursion and a site visit to Adalaj Vav (the Adalaj stepwell), which will showcase India’s ancient water management practices and the country’s long tradition of conserving its water resources in a wonderful setting”, said the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
According to the programme, this will be followed by a site visit to the Sabarmati siphon. The siphon (that is, a supply conduit that carries a liquid from a reservoir to a lower point) of the Sabarmati, the river that runs through Gandhinagar, is the largest in the world. It is a highly significant feat of engineering, through which the water flows through an enormous tunnel built beneath the riverbed and continues on the other side.
