1. Project Background

1.1. Project / Programme Background and Context

1.1.1. Provide brief information on the problem the proposed project/programme is aiming to

solve

The Himalayan regions are at a higher risk to climate change due to its sensitive bio-physical

conditions(topographic variation, incidences of earthquakes, droughts, landslides, flash

floods).Evidences of climate change in the Himalaya are already observed in the form of changes

in rainfall and temperature pattern, glaciers melts, drying up of springs, increased incidences of

crop diseases etc.,(Beniston 2003; Gentle and Maraseni 2012; Sharma et al. 2009; IPCC 2014).

This is a cause of concern as most of the rivers originate in the Himalayan region and any

changes in the pattern of water flow are likely to impact the communities at large. Further rapid

degradation of natural resources in the Himalayan region due to anthropogenic activities such as

deforestation, rapid urbanization, increase in population, cropping pattern are likely to pose a

serious threat to the mountain ecosystem such as water, forest, glaciers etc.

The Indian Himalayan region spread across 12Indian States too faces the heat of climate

change with reports of drying up of springs/rivers reported in the region (NITI Aayog 2017).

Similarly, Arunachal Pradesh located in Indian Himalayan Region faces water scarcity due to

observed incidences of climate change in the State such as changes in rainfall and temperature

pattern(Indian Meteorological Department 2013), high rate of deforestation(Forest Survey of

India 2017), increasing population(Government of India 2011), high dependence on rain fed

agriculture practices(Government of Arunachal Pradesh 2011). Arunachal Pradesh with a

geographical area of 83,743 sq. Km is the largest State in North-East India and is bounded by

countries such as Bhutan to the west, China to the north-east, Myanmar to the east, the Indian

State Nagaland to the south-east and the plains of Assam to the south. The State is situated in the

Indian Eastern Himalayan region between latitudes 260 30'N and 29

0 30'N, longitudes 91

0 30'E

and 970 30'E with varying elevations ranging from 50 meters in the foot hills gradually ascending

to above 7000 meters (Government of Arunachal Pradesh 2011).Above 37.3% of the villages in

Arunachal Pradesh have reported springs/rivers as main source of water for domestic use,

agriculture etc., (NITI Aayog 2017). Therefore, any impacts on springs/rivers arising due to

climate change are likely to impacts the livelihood of the communities at large. As such, there is

a need to devise measures to conserve and revive springs/rivers that are under constant threat

from climate change and human activities.

Problem Analysis:

9 | P a g e

Arunachal Pradesh is inhabited by a multitude of ethnic minorities, tribes and clans, where

the dependence on natural resources are high, hence influences of climate change and climate

variability are likely to magnify the risk they face. About 91% of the total geographical areas in

Arunachal Pradesh are under forest cover. Arunachal Pradesh’s economy is largely agrarian,

based on the terraced farming and few pockets of shifting cultivation. Agriculture and animal

husbandry are the two pre dominant occupation among the rural communities in Arunachal

Pradesh. About 80% of the populations living in rural areas are dependent on agriculture. 58.44

% of population belongs to the category of cultivators, 3.85 % agricultural laborers, 0.86 %

workers in household industries, and 36.85 % other types of workers. Therefore any changes in

the climate are likely to hinder economic development and overall well-being of the

communities in the State.

Figure 1: Forest Cover in the State of Arunachal Pradesh

Climate Change in Arunachal Pradesh

Arunachal Pradesh is a mountainous State located in Indian Himalayan Region of India and one of

the world’s 18 biodiversity hotspots (Government of Arunachal Pradesh 2017). It is rich in biological

resources with 760 species of birds, 85 species of mammal, 4,500 species of angiosperms, and 550

species of orchids (Government of Arunachal Pradesh 2017). These biological resources play an

important role in the occupation of the tribal communities in Arunachal Pradesh. However, climate

change possesses a serious threat to the ecosystem in State of Arunachal Pradesh. The rainfall data for

10 | P a g e

the last 15 years of Arunachal Pradesh shows that the State receives an average 3015 mm of

rainfall. The annual average rainfall ranges from 2477 mm to 3997 mm. Station wise average

rainfall of the State varies between 1205 mm in Ziro to 4506mm in Tuting. Thus lower reaches

(foothills) receive more rainfall than areas lying in high altitude. In spite of above, most of the

areas in foothills are water stresses due to increase demand-supply gap leading to use of ground

water.

Water Resources

The major river is the Brahmaputra basin and 82.8 % of its area falls in Arunachal Pradesh. The

State has the highest average run-off of 350 BCM. About 80% of mean annual flow of River

Brahmaputra is contributed by more than 3,000 small and big river tributaries.

Glaciers are found in the Kameng Basin (52 glaciers covering an area of 66 km2), in the

Subansiri Basin (91 glaciers covering an area of 146 km2) and in the Dibang Basin (14 glaciers

covering an area of 11 km2).

Arunachal Pradesh has 2.56 BCM annual replenish able ground water resources. The ground

water potential exploited so far is negligible. With the depletion of surface water resources in

the foot hill areas of Arunachal Pradesh, especially Changlang, Lohit, Lower Dibang Valley,

East Siang, Papum Pare and East Kameng Districts, the need to exploit ground water potential

for meeting the requirements of drinking water and irrigation is increasing day by day.

The CGWB had assessed an irrigational potential about 18,000 hectares through ground water in

the State An area of more than 87,500 hectares has been irrigated in Arunachal Pradesh. Minor

Irrigation Census of the State reveals that about 0.12-million hectare (about 66.67% of available

potential) area are irrigated. Fresh Potential Assessment is being done under GIS environment

and ultimate potential is expected to increase to around 0.85 million hectares.

The Command Area Development Water Management (CADWM) programme envisages the

utilization of irrigation potential. Available records indicate that a wide utilization gap exist till

today. It is estimated that about 55% of created potential are utilized and 45% remains unutilized

due to poor resource support, debris and energy, inflicting heavy flood damages.

Flood is a recurring phenomenon in the State due to high precipitation. Magnitude of floods and

river bank erosion problems are increasing every year in the State. An estimated 8155 sq km area

of the state is flood prone. To tackle the flood problems, construction of embankment, spurs and

guide bunds etc. are utmost necessary. Presently, protection and restoration works have been

taken-up.

11 | P a g e

Figure 2: Topography and River Basins of Arunachal Pradesh

Soil erosion, landslide and flood problems:

About 80% of State’s geographical area is hilly. High seismity, fragile geology, and high rainfall

in steep slopes of the region trigger soil erosion and landslides in the upper reaches of the State.

The loosened fertile top soils are carried away as silt along the high gradient turbulent rivers to

the foothill areas. Silt carrying energy of the rivers are dissipated in foothill areas of flatter slopes

and the silt are dropped on the river beds leading to rise of the bed level which causes the

overland spread of flood water and meandering/braiding of rivers occur before joining into

Brahmaputra river. It is estimated that about 9% of geographical area of the State are either bank

erosion or flood prone area. There is a need for proper mapping of landslide areas of the State

and an action plan needs to be prepared for mitigating the landslides with state of the art

geotextile technology.

Erosion, landslides and flood are the recurring phenomena in the State. Due to undulating

topography of the State the flat lands are limited and premium possessions of the farmers and are

mostly at the river valleys. These limited flat lands that constitute about 8-10% of geographical

area are subject to constant threat of bank erosion.

12 | P a g e

Against this backdrop, this proposal take up the case of Papum and Poma River located in

Papum Pare district of Arunachal Pradesh to devise measures to conserve and revive the river

which is under constant threat due to climate change, change in land use as well as due to large

scale deforestation. Papum and Poma Riverare the main source of drinking water for 70000

population of Itanagar, Naharlagun and Sangdupota circle(Government of India 2011). There are

reports of decrease in water flow/surface water, drying up of springs due to climate change in the

region (Government of Arunachal Pradesh 2011). Causes of springs drying up: it is believed that

the springs are drying up due to Jhum cultivation, change in land use, deforestation, mining and

climate change as major cause of depleting springs and ground water level. As per interactive

session among senior level officers and State Climate Change officials, the following issues need

immediate attention: - water scarcity although highly rain-fed area, deforestation, soil & land

erosion, jhum cultivation, drought & flood, loss of biodiversity etc.

In view of these significantly important challenges, this project aims to address and

design measures to protect and conserve the river from the impact of climate change through

situation assessment, identification of problems, formulation of recommendations and

subsequent implementation. The State Climate Change Cell under the Department of

Environment and Forest will coordinate for implementation of the project. The project will

envisage the following:

1. Development of measures to conserve and protect the river Papum-Poma from

threat such as climate change, deforestation, anthropogenic activities through the

following objectives

a. Identify geographical/physical status of the river with coordinated

approach with GBPHESD and WRS.

b. Assess the hydrology of the river with the help of NIH and IIT Guwahati

c. Assess the status of springs connecting the river with rural development,

Panchayats and Forest departments.

d. Spring shed development

2. Formulation of recommend remedial measures to the problem based on the

actual ground reality as identified

a. Remedial measures such as afforestation, spring water management,

agriculture, horticulture, catchment area treatment, livestock, soil and

13 | P a g e

water conservation measures, bank trenching, creating of check dams, and

stabilization of river banks etc.

b. Involvement of local communities through participation during

implementation of remedial measures.

3. To ensure smooth implementation of the recommended remedial measures in

order to conserve and manage river Papum-Poma and its drainage sources.

1.1.2. Outline the economic, social development and climate change in line with the State

Action plan on Climate Change and relevant Missions under National Action Plan on

Climate Change

The population of Arunachal Pradesh is 13.84 lakhs with a population density of 17 person

per sq. Km (Government of India 2011). The rural population of the State is approximately

77.06% (as per Census 2011), with livelihoods linked to natural resources such as agriculture and

forests products that are climatic sensitive. Culturally Arunachal Pradesh is inhabited by multiple

tribes, spread across 23 districts. Percentage of population living below poverty is 34.67% as per

report of Government of India (2013b).

Figure 3: District map of Papum Pare district

Papum Pare, the District while project sites are located covers a geographical area of 2875

sq. km in Lesser Himalayan zone and bounded by North Latitude 26°56´11˝ to 27°35°44˝ and

East Latitudes 93°12´45˝ E to 94°13´30˝. It has borders with Lower Subansiri district in North,

East Kameng District in the West. West Siang district falls in its eastern boundary while North

Lakhimpur district of Assam is situated in the South.The total population of the districts is 1,

76,573. High rate of poverty is a concern in the district where 68% of the total population lives

below poverty line (Table 1). Further, the district is located at a medium altitude characterized by

poor connectivity, limited access to information, difficult terrain etc., which makes this district

highly vulnerable. As per report by department of Agriculture Cooperation and Farmers

Welfare, the district is highly prone to drought, landslides as well as flood(Agriculture

Cooperation and Farmers Welfare 2012). The State Action Plan on Climate Change reports of

15 | P a g e

depletion of surface water resources in the district(Government of Arunachal Pradesh 2011)

due to decrease inrainfall. Therefore, there is a need to revive and conserve the water bodies

such as springs, lakes, rivers etc.

Figure 4: Drainage Map of Papumpare District, Arunachal Pradesh

16 | P a g e

Figure 5: Photos of Poma River at different time period

The National Water Mission, which is a part of the National Action Plan on Climate Change,

identifies the threat to water resources due to climate change, and the ones that are relevant to

Arunachal Pradesh as per the Arunachal SAPCC are as follows.

� Drinking water dependent on natural source such as river, springs are likely to

become more scare as there are evidences of decrease in annual rainfall trends (1951-

2010) by -3.63 mm (Indian Meteorological Department 2013).

� Decrease in rainfall will lead to less infiltration and adversely affects springs

recharge.

� Increased drought like situations due to the overall decrease in rainfall.

� Warming as a result of increasing trends in annual mean maximum temperature and

annual mean minimum temperature (1951-2010) in Arunachal Pradesh by 0.020 C

(Indian Meteorological Department 2013)may lead to a decline in the glaciers and

snowfields of the region.

As Arunachal Pradesh is a part of the Indian Himalayan region, the proposed project is

therefore aligned to the National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem where on one

of the major objectives is to provide sustainable livelihood to the people whose livelihood

depend on the Himalayan ecosystem. Further, the project can be aligned to the National Mission

for water where the main objective is to conserve and protect the water resources under the

17 | P a g e

climate change scenario. The proposed project is contributing towards water resource

conservation by recharging mountain springs/rivers and harvesting rainwater.

According to the Arunachal Pradesh SAPCC, water is one of the most important sector on

which climate can have a profound impact, which in turn can have a cascading impacts on other

sectors such as agriculture, forest, etc. The Arunachal Pradesh SAPCC identifies water security

as a prime area of concern and has proposed the following interventions to reduce vulnerability

of water sector.

� To take up sustainability schemes to augment and share the water resources in order

to enhance the service efficiencies in the sector

� Source protection, gully plugging, check dam, catchment area protection, contour

trenching, impounding reservoirs and artificial recharge

� To protect and enhance the drinking water sources by prevention of forests cover

loss due to anthropogenic reasons such a Jhum cultivation, development activities

etc.

� Watershed protection by afforestation

This project under consideration takes up the case of River Papum and Poma, located Papum

Pare district. Justification for selection of River Papum and Poma for the project on national

adaptation fund arises due to the threat river Papum and Poma faces from climate impacts such

as decrease in surface water,drying up of springs due to decreased rainfall in the

region.(Government of Arunachal Pradesh 2011). The State Action Plan on Climate Change

2011 also reports that Climate Change in the region are likely to increase the occurrence of

windstorms, droughts, land degradation and soil erosion, depleting springs and increased

incidences of pest and diseases. These has increased the vulnerability of the region to forest fires,

possible loss of endemic plant and animal species, loss of soil fertility, crop yield loss and

deteriorated produce quality, delayed sowing (late rainfall), outbreak of pests and diseases,

temporal & spatial variation in flow, increased sedimentation, deterioration of (drinking) water

quality. As such, provisions were made under Arunachal Pradesh State Action Plan on Climate

Change (SAPCC) to address these vulnerabilities as given below in table.

Table 2: Proposed Activities/project for vulnerability reduction as projected under SAPCC

The project aims to address the issue of conservation, and recharging of springs in selected

project locations through baseline assessments, plan preparation, community mobilization,

training programme, interventions such as afforestation, agriculture, horticulture, catchment area

treatment, livestock, soil and water conservation measures, bank trenching, creating of check

dams, and stabilization of river banks etc., which is directly identified under SAPCC for

Arunachal Pradesh.

The project along with technical improvement to conserve and protect the river Papum and

Poma, also aims to achieve better management of the river water for the purpose of water

security for drinking, agriculture, afforestation, fisheries, social development etc. The project

would also conduct community mobilization on water conservation, forest management,

associated climate mitigation activities, and training programmes to facilitate adequate transfer

of knowledge contributing to their societal development too. All such activities (interventions,

infrastructure development, agriculture, horticulture, catchment area treatment, livestock, soil

and water conservation measures, bank trenching, creating of check dams, and stabilization of

river banks, workshop, training etc., ) would involve deployment of labor and personnel.

1.1.3. Climate Analysis and Vulnerability Analysis:

1.1.3.1. Climate Analysis:

There are five agro Climatic Zones in Arunachal Pradesh reflecting the Climate variability

due to large area of the State. These agro-climatic zones are alpine zone, mid tropical hill zone,

mid tropical plain zone, sub-tropical hill zone, and temperate sub-alpine zone. The Climate in

Arunachal Pradesh ranges from sub-tropical to temperate depending on the altitude of the land.

For instance, the climate in the upper regions of the State experiences alpine or tundra climate,

the middle ranges have temperate climate, and the lower ranges experience humid conditions.

The average temperature in Arunachal Pradesh ranges from 15o to 21

o C during winters while the

monsoon temperature ranges from 20o to 30

o C (Government of Arunachal Pradesh 2011). The

rainfall of Arunachal Pradesh is amongst the heaviest in the country receiving more than 3500

mm in a year. The state receives rainfall over a period of 8 to 9 months excepting in winter,

however, most of rainfall is between May to September. Higher regions experience snowfall

during winter. The average annual rainfall is 1000 mm in the higher elevations and 5750 mm in

the foot hill areas(Government of Arunachal Pradesh 2011).

Arunachal Pradesh is witnessing climate change with variation in average temperature and

rainfall. Climate data from Indian Meteorological Department (2013) shows increasing trends in

annual mean maximum temperature and annual mean minimum temperature in Arunachal

20 | P a g e

Pradesh by 0.020 C for the year 1951-2010. Similarly, State level annual rainfall trends for

Arunachal Pradesh have shown decrease of rainfall by -3.63 mm for the year 1951-2010. These

impacts of climate change arising due to anthropogenic factors are threatening natural

ecosystem, and food production system of the communities in the State. For instance, Forest

Survey of India (2017) reported a decrease of 190 sq. km in forest cover which can be attributed

to shifting cultivation and developmental activities. Similarly, a study conducted by Indian

Institute of Remote Sensing in 2018 predicted decrease of 9007.14 sq. km of forest cover in

Assam and Arunachal Pradesh by 2028 (Kushwaha et al. 2018). Similarly, there are high

incidences of natural calamities such as landslides due to rapid urbanization (road construction),

habitations in sloping lands, increasing population, Jhum cultivation etc. Data provided by

Geological Survey of India (2018) reported death of 36 people in the last four years due to

landslides. Further, the natural resource-dependent livelihoods (agriculture) of rural poor in

Arunachal Pradesh are likely to experience a disproportionately larger burden of the adverse

impacts of climate change.Climate change possesses a serious threat to the ecosystem in State of

Arunachal Pradesh.

1.1.3.2. Climate Projections as per State Action Plan on Climate Change 2011

Rainfall:

The long term trends in observed seasonal precipitation and temperature over Arunachal Pradesh

using IMD gridded rainfall and temperature at daily time scales has been performed to arrive at

current baseline climatology for Arunachal Pradesh. Summary is presented in the following

paragraphs.

Data used:

• IMD gridded rainfall at 0.5-degree spatial resolution for the time period 1971-2005 (35 years)

• IMD gridded maximum and minimum temperature at 1-degree spatial resolution for the time

period 1969-2005 (37 years)

Precipitation trends

Rainfall in Arunachal Pradesh varies considerably both in space and time from year to year.

Table 3: Rainfall Statistics for Arunachal Pradesh

The mean south-west monsoon (June, July, August & September) rainfall (1815 mm) contributes

64.4% of annual rainfall (2818 mm). Mean monthly rainfall during July (581 mm) is highest and

contributes about 20.6% of annual rainfall. The mean rainfall during June is slightly lower and

contributes about 18.0% of annual rainfall. August and September rainfall contribute 14.8% and

13.2% of annual rainfall, respectively. Contribution of pre-monsoon (March, April & May)

rainfall and post-monsoon (October, November & December) rainfall in annual rainfall is 23.4%

and 7.9% respectively.

The Papum Pare district where the project locations are situated falls under mid tropical hill

zone. Climate is wet and humid in the southern part of the district. Itanagar, Naharlagun and

Doimukh experience severe hot weather during summer. During winter particularly in the

Northern Mengio and Sagalee, the climate is cold with temperature falling below freezing point

at many places. In the foothill areas winter is not as cold as in the other areas of the districts.

Rainy season or monsoon season starts from May and continues up to September/ October. The

average annual rainfall is 3200 mm(Government of India 2013a).

1.1.4. Project Location details – villages, block/ mandal, district

Papum river starts from Tajar-Japin at boundary of Sangdupota and Pakke-Kesang

administrative boundary. In local term, the meaning of “Tajar” refers to place where broom

plants found abundantly, and the later one, "Japin" means to top-slope hills. It then meets in the

wonderful unexplored lake called Sikyo-Sinyik by locals after passing down from Tajar-Japin as

stream. However, the river expands in its volume after it meets the two streams of Pungmi and

Pungte at Habia village. The Papum Riveris joined by many streams such as Sin- Su,Langkeh,

Lorung, Uii- Seleh, Disha, Rupung, Dungsbu, Turajulii, etc. The numbers of streams and springs

connecting Papum river are 71 and 697 respectively (Table 3).

23 | P a g e

River Poma originates by merging of five streams namely, Liidh-anh, Soppoloh, Mechii,

Ehoso and Tochi. The head source is around 6-7 kms away from Poma Village. The Poma river

has significant economic, environmental and tourism prospect for the inhabitants. The course of

Poma river is of more than 40-45kms(approx) through the plain of Poma to Papum river.The

numbers of streams and springs connecting Poma river are 38 and 352 respectively (Table 3).

1.2. Project Vision, Goal and Objectives

The vision of the project is to:

� Make the selected project sites a water secure village by addressing the potential

threat to the river Papum and Poma.

The project goal is:

� Conduct comprehensive assessments of the threat the river faces such as climate

change, deforestation, land use change etc.

The main objectives of the proposal are:

� Science: To document the geographical/physical status of the river such as

discharge amount, flora and fauna, ground water recharge, etc., through scientific

studies, baseline data collection, and situation analysis.

� Intervention: To recommend remedial measures to the problem based on the

actual ground reality as identified (e.g. afforestation, agriculture, horticulture,

catchment area treatment, livestock, soil and water conservation measures, bank

trenching, creating of check dams, and stabilization of river banks etc.,). This

would involve local communities through participation during implementation of

remedial measures.

� Implementation: To ensure smooth implementation of the recommended

remedial measures in order to conserve and manage river Papum and Poma.

2. Project Justification

2.1. Component-wise details and justification of the project components

2.1.1. Planning

Baseline Scenario-Presently, there is dearth of technical studies and needs assessment on the

status of rivers/wetlands and measure to conserve and protect the rivers in Arunachal Pradesh.

Without an in-depth technical review of the same, no feasible technical intervention can be carried

out to yield measurable results. Hence, to begin with, it is imperative for the state to carry out a

detailed technical study on the status of River Papum and Poma, located in Arunachal Pradesh.

Inventorisation of spring-sheds based on government records and prioritization for intervention

based on vulnerability. This would involve activities such as mapping locations of the springs

through GPS coordinates, land tenure, catchment area demarcation, and dependency on each

spring, and discharge amount of the springs. This would help us understand the vulnerability of

each spring. Preparation of Village Water Security Plans will be done at the village administrative

level by documenting the water budget, recharge areas and based on the crop calendar to make

efforts at enhancing water use efficiency.

Adaptation Activities-Complete inventorisation of the spring-sheds along with social mapping

will help in determining the biophysical vulnerability as well as socio-economic vulnerability. This

will help in developing a scientific plan and implementation strategy for developing the springs

and spring-sheds. The database would be a source of information for scientists, researchers, policy

makers and for the communities. Based on baseline surveys and inventorisation spring shed

rejuvenation activities to be taken up.

Contribution to climate resilience-The conduction of such studies will aid in assessment of the

present scenario and development of recommendations, or action points for achieving resource

security and climate resilience. At a later stage, infrastructure will be created as per these plans to

conserve and protect the river.

2.1.2. Construction of infrastructure

40 | P a g e

Baseline Scenario-Currently there are lack of physical infrastructure for conservation and

protection of the river such as afforestation, catchment area treatment, soil and water conservation

measures, bank trenching, creating of check dams, stabilization of river banks, rain water

harvesting structure etc. Hence, there is a need to create suitable infrastructure for protection of the

river. The focus under this component would be on spring-shed development to revive the dried up

springs by taking up artificial recharge works in the upper catchments to increase base flow. The spring

discharge follows an annual periodic rhythm, mirroring the rainfall pattern. As the rainfall declines

during the post monsoon season, the spring discharge reduces exponentially and reaches a minimum

during the period from December to April. Based on baseline survey location for ground water

recharge structures would identified (like staggered contour trenches, bench trenching, check dams,

anicuts, etc.) and constructed. Choosing the locations of these trenches and ponds is vital to ensure that

each of them has a micro-catchment and captures sufficient surface flow. Creating artificial ponds at

depressions and trenches along the trekking trails would help to tap the surface runoff during the

monsoon and this will be attempted. This climate change adaptation initiative will indirectly help in

disaster risk reduction by reducing landslides and damage to private lands downstream.

Adaptation Activities- In order to improve the baseline scenario, the activities suggested in the

study documents prepared as a result of the planning stage would be implemented. Structural and

non-structural interventions in spring-shed rejuvenation in wake of increasing climate variability

like recharge ponds, contour trenches and afforestation measures will be based on the

characteristics of the springs, slope, discharge and transmissivity. This is a scientific and concrete

adaptation measure.

Contribution to climate resilience-Creation of such infrastructure will aid in addressing the threat

the river faces.

2.1.3. Livelihood Interventions

Introduction green fodders will be undertaken for the food security of the livestock. The communities

would also be encouraged to undertake agro-forestry through distribution of seedlings and creation of

awareness through involvement of people. This involves anticipatory planting of species across

latitudinal and longitudinal gradient. Further, promotion of natural regeneration and mixed species

planting will be implemented.This will ensure livelihood security and enhance resilience. Most of

these crops along with horticultural crops are grown in upstream.Scientific livestock rearing would

be encouraged under this project.

Adaptation Activities- Climate resilient livelihoods will help in reduction of the economic as well as

ecological vulnerabilities thereby increasing the adaptive capacities of the communities.

2.1.4. Training and Capacity Building

Baseline Scenario-Currently there is very less training and awareness on river/wetland

conservation and other associated climate resilient activities, hence local people will have to be

trained for the project. Capacity building for creating a cadre of para-hydrogeologists and user

body for preparation of village water security plan. Training programme for para-hydrogeologists

will be trained on simple module on spring-shed management, process of identification, slope and

discharge measurement, recharge area identification, PRA to determine afforestation measures,

crop-water budgeting. There will be training for PIAs and officials as well as training of farmers in

separate modules.

Adaptation Activities-Wide-spread training programs for local villagersto ensure community

mobilization on water conservation and climate mitigation/resilient activities. People who will be

engaged in such activities will also be trained on how to technically implement the

recommendations of such plans.Building capacities of para-hydrogeologists and interfacing line

department officials on spring-shed rejuvenation is a major concrete adaptation exercise, as it will help in

eco-system resilience and aid in water security and food security to be managed in a decentralized fashion.

Contribution to climate resilience-Issues like river protection, erosion, and other benefits will be

addressed which in turn will help in conservation of the river.

Component wise justification on adaptation additionality

Major-activity/Sub-Activity Adaptation Additionalities

Inventorisation of spring-sheds based on government records and prioritization for intervention based on vulnerability:

Spring-shed/Hydrogeological mapping,

Social profile mapping, Spring

monitoring, data analysis, and finalization

of spring-sheds for structural measures.

Complete inventorisation of the spring-sheds along with social

mapping will help in determining the biophysical vulnerability as well

as socio-economic vulnerability. This will help in developing a scientific plan and implementation strategy for developing the springs

and spring-sheds. The database would be a source of information for scientists, researchers, policy makers and for the communities.

Construction of infrastructure

Structural and non-structural interventions in springshed rejuvenation

in wake of increasing climate variability like recharge ponds, contour

trenches and afforestation measures will be based on the

characteristics of the springs, slope, discharge and transmissivity. This

is a scientific and concrete adaptation measure.

Livelihood interventions along the springsheds including adaptive agriculture, diversification of livelihood, scientific livestock management such as piggery, poultry, dairy, etc.

Climate resilient livelihoods will help in reduction of the economic as

well as ecological vulnerabilities thereby increasing the adaptive

capacities of the communities.

building of the beneficiaries is essential in this case to ensure sustained use of these

installations.

Sustainability would also be ensured through use of low emission materials and processes

(including low emissions across life cycle). To ensure sustainability after completion of

project, the local villagers would be trained through awareness generation on measures to

conserve and protect the river in the future.
