Spring Hydrogeology of Diktoli-Sim
ACWADAM's report on the Diktoli-Sim springshed in Uttarakhand, India, emphasizes the importance of groundwater recharge in the Chanda K-Aulaghat watershed. The report identifies Diktoli as a micro-watershed and highlights its geological features, including various rock types such as quartzite, slate, and limestone, which influence water flow. It details the spring inventory, revealing 20 springs, with three—Shivalay, Naunipani, and Dhara—selected for Sustainable Spring Management (SSM) activities. Recommendations include implementing recharge structures like staggered contour trenches and protecting forested areas to enhance water quality and availability for local communities.
