Description
-
The ACWADAM report highlights the critical water shortage faced by higher-elevation hamlets in Sikkim, particularly during droughts when springs dry up. It emphasizes the need for effective springwater management, especially given the evidence of depletion due to lifestyle changes and climate impacts. The report details the training of field facilitators on spring identification and recharge techniques, showcasing various springs like Chukudum, Lampatey, and Devithan, which illustrate the hydrogeological complexities involved. The Dhara-Vikas program is presented as a promising strategy to enhance aquifer recharge and revive diminishing water resources, including hilltop lakes.
