About the Workshop

Springs are essential component to water security for communities especially in the Himalayan
region for domestic purposes and irrigation, and thus are also vital to lifeline of rivulets, streams
and entire local ecosystems which directly link to Groundwater. Springs in the Himalayan region
represent a typology of ‘mountain perched aquifers’, with a large degree of variability and
complexity attributed by the geology, terrain and hydrological factors. These mountain springs
emanate from unconfined aquifers. Without a proper understanding of aquifers, any study of
groundwater remains incomplete. Study of springs, with a strong hydro geological context is
especially relevant and vital for conservation, protection and land-treatment measures in order to
adapt to various fluxes imposed by climate change and other factors.
Despite the mountainous terrain covered by rich diverse fauna and flora in North East and
receiving one of the highest rainfalls in the country with an average of 1500-2500 mm annually,
the depletion & deterioration of water resources (quality & quantity) is looming as the perennial
springs, streams and other water bodies are drying up or becoming seasonal. This becomes
jeopardy for the ecosystems, lives and livelihoods of the populace. India extracts the greatest
amount of groundwater in the world annually.1Ground water (GW) supplies nearly 55% of
irrigation, 85% of rural and 50% of urban and industrial water needs.2The amount of GW thus
extracted is often more than the annual recharge. Groundwater, an accessible open resource is the
life line of mountain communities and therefore springs & streams as its heritage, regenerating
them is critical.
Spring shed development can help enhance rainfall infiltration into the ground, recharge springs,
revive dysfunctional traditional water harvesting systems, moderate flood peaks and recharge
streams and rivers. In May 2012, the Union Ministry of Rural Development had notified spring
shed development works under MGNREGA. The revised IWMP of the ‘Common Guidelines
for Watershed Development Projects’ also mentioned the inclusion of the component of
hydrogeological studies in the DPRs. A rapid extension through PGWM approach is an urgent
need of the hour to address these concern practical issues in the Himalayan North Eastern States.
PSI has been working in the Himalayan region for more than two decades now promoting
Participatory watershed development as well as participatory Groundwater Management
(PGWM) practices for the efficient, sustainable and equitable use of local Groundwater
resources. Way back in 1996 it has been recognized as the nodal support voluntary organization
for watershed development by CAPART, MoRD, and New Delhi for the North Western
Himalayan region. Since 2008, the Institute has also assisted the Government of Sikkim to
initiate springshed development (through the Dhara Vikas program) in water scarce villages.

These interventions have regenerated springs and have led to an improvement in the availability
of water in the targeted villages.
The consultative meeting on 30th October 2015 and subsequent training workshop from October
31st to November 6th 2015, was organized to extend the Participatory Groundwater Management
(PGWM) approach in the North - East by Dehradun Voluntary based Organisation Peoples’
Science Institute. It is being co-funded and collaborated with Land Resources Department,
Government of Nagaland along with the support from Arghyam foundation, Bengaluru.
Objective:
The workshop was targeted to share experiences, explore and develop understanding about the
possibility & need of regenerating springs (identify recharge and enhance the recharge of
springs), streams and underground flows through community-led actions based on local hydro-
geology, focusing on issues of water quality, sustainability, and equity of groundwater as a
common pool resource in the North Eastern Himalayan region. It aimed to enhance and build
capacities of concerned government agencies and local Voluntary Sectors (VOs) based on the
regional needs and potential interventions. It is expected that the workshop will initiate and
contribute to the development of affective partnership, partnership among the different
stakeholders towards promoting PGWM as a common pool resource in the Himalayan North
East.

Highlights

The consultative meeting

30th October 2015
A consultative meeting was organized on 30th October 2015 under Participatory Groundwater
Management Programme with its theme on “Exploring Improved Water Management
Practices in the North-Eastern Himalayan Region focusing on Springsheds”. The objective
of the training workshop was highlighted by the Director Mr. Debashish Sen (PSI) and Director
Mr. Mhathan Yanthan (LRD) welcomed the dignitaries and delegates while Ms. Khrolhiwe-u
Tsuhah (PSI) moderated the program. Topics on groundwater situation in Himalayan states,
principles of PGWM and its critical aspects with respective to Himalayan region were presented
by PSI, Arghyam and ACWADAM. The practical real life experiences from the Himalayan
region were shared by PSI, Dhara Vikas Program (Sikkim) and Meghalaya Basin Development
Authority (MBDA) which emphasized that PGWM (and particularly participatory springshed
development) is a feasible approach within small investment but provided the complete
participation of all the stakeholders (mainly communities) for sustainable management of
groundwater; the impact of which were immediately seen in subsequent years in all the case
studies. The main points of interactive discussion of the day were:
• Himalayan states are considered to be “non - groundwater states” in central studies (CGWB
assessment), whereas domestic and livelihood needs in Himalayan region are mainly
provided by springs and base flows in water streams.

 PGWM, Nagaland 2015

• The major schemes focus of source development to access the groundwater/surface water and
distribution channels from source to supply the increasing demand. There is a need for
paradigm shift in resource development rather than source development.
• The management and conservation of GW resources are not considered in mainstream
watershed management and other government programmes.
• Need to move to valley to valley approach from conventional approach of ridge to valley
approach as groundwater occurrence crosses the watershed boundaries.
• There is lack of talent pool for a scientific understanding of occurrence of groundwater,
hydrogeology of Himalayan region, resource based planning and lack of community
participation in such planning.
• The lack of enough data on springs and wells and their yield in Himalayan region is another
critical constraint which is shrinking the opportunities for scientific understanding.
• Hence there is need of
o Research - To new levels, with possible experimentation of groundwater management
models.
o Training: Widening and deepening the understanding of hydrogeology and demystifying
the science.
o Data inventories – for springs, wells recharge, yields for better scientific understanding
o Dissemination of research and education in groundwater to wider audiences
o Scaling up the efforts
• Participatory groundwater management approach principally focuses on –
o Resource development considering groundwater as a common resource pool and aquifer
based groundwater management
o Participation of all the stakeholders in planning, implementation and monitoring
o The demand regulation at various levels
o Community-led systems for sustainable use of groundwater
o Institutional convergence for implementation and ensuring the sustainability of resources

The Chief Guest’s Remark:

Mr. Imkonglemba Ao, (IAS) Agricultural production commissioner and Commissioner &
Secretary to the government of Nagaland department of Agriculture, Industries & commerce
while speaking at the inaugural function as chief guest of the consultative meeting called upon
the participants to implement the work which is sustainable and people friendly. He emphasized
on:
• Breaking the silos: the integration and collaboration of various governmental departments
• Data constraints for scientific analysis
• Anthropological factors like Jhum Cycle and
land use pattern threatens the forest and hence
groundwater.
• The policies of the central government do not
match the activities of the hilly region; Water
and land policy are not in synergy.
• The top-down and expert oriented approach in
planning and implementing the programs
overlooks the expectations of people, terrain
and hence GDP and overall development is
not improving. He emphasized on the Mr.ImkolengbaAo, (IAS) Agricultural production
traditional knowledge and wisdom that local commissioner, Nagaland
people have. Hence it is important to make the
community as a key stakeholder and inclusive planning for sustainable development.
• He also asked the participants of PHED Department, irrigation & flood control department
and Soil and Water conservation department to undertake the activities to improve quality,
regeneration and improvement of water resource in the state.
Mr. MhathungYanthan Director Land Resources presented the status of IWMP and prospective
on springshed development n Nagaland, where he emphasized on paradigm shift from ridge-to-
valley to valley-to-valley. While exploring the potential for PGWM and participatory
springshed development in the NE states – all the Panelist equivocally advocated the
springshed development for NE states for addressing water stress and participation of local
communities as a key necessity. Mr. Bishwadeep Ghose (Arghyam) & Mr. Divyang Waghela
(Tata Trust) attended the Panel Discussion held on the 6th November, 2015.

o Designing springshed development plans

• Groundwater quality and sanitation
• Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA)
• Case Studies (Groundwater Management Issues)
The documentaries and presentation on case studies were coupled at the appropriate time along
with the presentations for better understanding.
1.2 Field visit:
The first field visit was organized on 2nd
November 2015 along the ChatheRiver to
explore the rock types, fractures, angle of dip,
and changes in the geology along the river and
across the mountains. The theoretical
understanding of the geology and groundwater
science was better understood with hands-on
experience. Use of Brentoncompass was taught
to measure the angle of dip and strike direction.
Participants were taught to draw cross section Kaustubh explaining rock types and their properties

of the area.
The second field visit was organized on 3-4th November 2015 to Medziphema village, Dimapur.
The things which were understood by participants were:
1. Understanding types of springs and aquifer system
2. Building the understanding of underground geology based on various observations like –
slope, terrain, exposed geology, water quality parameters etc.
3. Use of maps – Toposheet and Google earth image for correlating the observations
4. Understanding the current demand and dependence on groundwater through social surveys
5. Recharge area demarcation for the wells and springs
6. Measurements – Slope, contour, yield, discharge etc.
7. Planning recharge generating structures
8. Method for water sample collection
9. Collection of water samples which were later tested in the classroom session.
Each group was also given a water quality testing kit so that they could analyse the water
samples collected by them during the field visit. The water quality parameters (pH, Hardness,
Faecal Coliform, Iron, TDS, and Chloride) were analysed to correlate the underlying aquifer
system and also sanitation problems.

Training Material provided:

Each participant was given the following material:
• Stationaries, bags etc.
• A booklet titled “Groundwater quality manual“
• “Groundwater Management in the Indian Himalaya – A Summary Situation Analysis”
• Arghyam’s manuals on PGWM and PGWM process
• Power point presentations of the sessions in a CD.
Certificates to the participants were distributed. Representatives from various
organisations/departments actively involved in groundwater related work were also given PSI’s
water quality testing kit.

Feedback and suggestions

The daily feedback was reviewed and addressed at the end of the day to clarify the questions
raised by participants. Participants are grateful and appreciated the efforts made by PSI and
Supporters for giving them a platform to learn about groundwater management, hydrogeology
and water quality etc. They were quite satisfied with the training. However, some participants
felt the need for more hands on experience and field visits to learn about identification of
recharge area on the basis of different set of parameters; determining basic hydro-geological
properties of rocks, sanitations issues in the context of NE etc.
The participants were excited to learn about the engineering aspects and water quality testing in a
simple but enlightened way. The villages are located on the top of the mountains and sources are
downstream. In such situation, most of the local participants were eager to learn more about
sanitation and remedies to avoid contamination through local practices of open defecation.
The main suggestion was regarding the duration of the training as the time was not adequate to
cover all the topics in greater depth. The more visual medium in the form of documentaries on
the real life experiences would have increased the curiosity and would have made the topics
more interesting. The number of participants was more than 40, which was a constraint in having
more interactive and fruitful discussions. The training should be more practical oriented so that,
after the training people feel confident to work directly in the field. For this, the theoretical
sessions must be reduced and practical sessions must be increased. The fundamentals of recharge
area identification and hydrogeological mapping (vertical profiles, horizontal profiles,
preparation of cross sections) are the backbone of this training; hence more time on the practical
training of these two topics is must.

 PGWM, Nagaland 2015

Recommendations/Challenges
1. During the course of the training, the need for participatory springshed development was
realized by all concerned departments and representatives of respective states. All the States
(Government agencies/VOs) equivocally opined to have participatory springshed
development initiatives on pilot basis.
2. Given that Nagaland is coming up with water policy, it is an opportunity to incorporate the
participatory springshed development in the state level policy for long term water security.
3. Collective efforts and collaboration of stakeholder departments will be required to
comprehensive water security plan. The various departments have to integrate their schemes
and utilize the budgets appropriately for the resource development. As springshed
development needs very little investment (Rs.30000/ha and average immediate recharge area
of spring in Himalayan region is 1.5 – 3ha), it is possible to appropriate the funds from the
existing programs.
4. Along with supply side, the demand side management will be crucial as climate change
(impact of local ecosystems) and anthropogenic factors keep on threatening the water
resources. The demand side management practices like changing the cropping practices, less
water intense practices like SRI etc., should or can be promoted.
5. The inventory of the springs and other groundwater sources is necessary for the scientific
understanding. PHED, Geological department have some base information and mapping
which can be shared with other departments also and comprehensive spring/groundwater
inventory can be maintained by various departments in collaboration within their current
capacities.
6. The current capacities of the manpower are not adequate for conducting the springshed
development plans. Hence more hand-holding and capacity building will be required to
create the capable manpower at state level.
7. The land related acts in the NE states were discussed as one of the constraint for government
department in implementing the recharge works. Government owns very small fraction of
land i.e. approximately 8-10% and rest of the land is owned by communities. But considering
the participation of local communities is the key to PGWM, the community-led ownership
over land resources can be opportunity if communities are taken into confidence.

 PGWM, Nagaland 2015

Way forward
Mr. Mhathung Yanthan, CEO SLNA-IWMP & Director Land Resources Department, Nagaland
has shown keen interest on initiating pilot programme across all the 11 districts of Nagaland in
collaboration with concerned departments and resource organizations. DoLR, Nagaland is also a
nodal agency for implementation of IWMP and hence it is possible to appropriate the funds for
the participatory springshed development at pilot basis. The Springs shall be selected in the
villages under SPEED (Special Program on Economic and Ecological Development) program of
DoLR, Nagaland. PSI will be the main technical, facilitator and capacity building agency. Other
North Eastern states also showed keen interest in initiating such training workshop in their
respective states for springshed development.
