Water, a flowing natural resource of the Earth is an integral part of human life and key element for socio-economic development of a community. It also plays an important role in the spiritual lives of millions of people throughout the globe. With the growing population and their increasing demand of water for domestic, agricultural, and industrial use, pressure upon this valuable resource is also increasing day by day. Water scarcity is a serious threat to the community development at grass root level, which substantiates in a wider scale to the other strata of the society to prosper. Spring is the main source of water in a mountain ringed state like Sikkim. More than 80 % of the rural populace of Sikkim depends on spring water for domestic as well as agricultural use. To sustain the livelihood of rural community, management of this important source is a crucial and decisive. Being a Himalayan state, the steep slope and ragged topography, where maximum rain water flows as a surface runoff causing less recharge of aquifer are some of the natural phenomena of Sikkim. Similarly, rainfall across the state is highly variable and erratic. Therefore, to combat such circumstances, number of measures have been adopted and implemented in Sikkim for the sustainable management of water resource. To name a few, traditional water management system, maintenance of water source, rejuvenation of springs, forestation near source area etc. occupy prominence.
