Community-Led Watershed Restoration
Region: SindhupalchokTimeline: 2022 - 2024
Executive Summary
Recharging natural aquifer springs and establishing terrace agroforestry for agrarian families facing acute water scarcity.
The Community Challenge
Frequent landslides and changing monsoon patterns caused natural hillside springs to dry up, triggering localized crop failure and water distress.
Our Collaborative Approach
Trained local water user groups in bio-engineering, contour trenching, and indigenous vetiver planting to maximize rainwater infiltration.
Key Deliverables & Verified Outcomes
- 22 natural water springs restored with steady year-round flow
- Annual crop yields stabilized across 340 farming households
- Women and youth spend 70% less time collecting household drinking water
