Reviving drying springs in the Nibuwa–Tankhuwa watershed, Dhankuta - Poster

Springs are one of the main sources of drinking water in the Nibuwa–Tankhuwa watershed in Dhankuta, Nepal. However, these springs are drying up, so communities are following ICIMOD’s six-step protocol for spring revival to improve water security and access to safe drinking water; reduce climate risks and water-related conflicts among local communities; and enhance ecosystem services. This poster details the areas of intervention and field activities being implemented.

This activity is being jointly implemented by Dhankuta Municipality; Chhathar Jorpati Rural Municipality; Ward representatives; community members; Soil Conservation and Watershed Management Office, Dhankuta; Department of Forests and Soil Conservation, Kathmandu; District Forest Office, Dhankuta; and the Koshi Basin Initiative, ICIMOD.
