Description
-
The research focuses on the revival of Himalayan springs in Sikkim, aiming to improve water supply and agriculture. The initiative, DharaVikas, has been successful in implementing adaptive experiments and learning from mistakes. The project has involved a range of activities, including preparing a spring atlas, assessing the vulnerability of gram panchayats, initiating pilots, and developing local capacity. The focus is on aquifers, with 120 ha of land taken up at recharge areas in 2013-14. The initiative has also focused on identifying vulnerable villages and critical springs. The project has faced challenges, such as learning from mistakes and implementing implementation guidelines. The research questions include the feasibility of reviving Himalayan springs, the need for recharge areas, the amount of investment needed, the expected benefits to farmers, and the impact of the initiative on the environment. The initiative aims to address the pressing needs of the village and ensure sustainable water supply.
