Detailed Solution

In Gujarat, the Sabarmati basin farmers were agitated when water was supplied to the urban areas on priority rather than rural areas during droughts.
The dams did cause disagreements between people who desired different uses and benefits from the same water supply. Farmers in Gujarat's Sabarmati basin were unhappy and nearly rioted over the higher priority given to water supplies in urban areas, particularly during droughts.
