GANGTOK
The Water Resources & River Development Department formerly Irrigation and
Flood Control Department is mainly involved in irrigation channel construction works and
takes upon the change of Planning, Development and Management of natural resources
through formulation of new policies technical guidance and co-ordination with allied
department on surface and ground water explanation and for its effective and efficient use.
Sikkim being largely agrarian with agro-based economy. The Department aims to
sustain assured availability of water on agricultural fields through identification of perennial
and dependable water sources and construction of sound delivery systems.
Further, the Water Resources & River Development Department has been taking up
various schemes like Flood Control & River Training (FCRT), Storm Water Drainage System,
Anti erosion Work (AEW), Catch Water Drain (CWD) & Jhora Training Work (JTW) to
protect the public properties and infrastructures.
The Govt. of India has introduced a flagship programme “Pradhan Mantri Krishi
Sichaii Yojana (PMKSY)”, Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP) for focusing on increasing irrigation
potential of arable land in the following schemes:
1. Surface Minor Irrigation
2. Repair, Renovation and Restoration of Water Bodies
3. Ground Water Development
4. Command Area Development
Water being a limited resource, its efficient use through proper & advance management
techniques. National Hydrology Project under Water Resources & River Development

Department entrusted to fulfilling the real time data to end users for the purpose of drinking,
irrigation, hydro – electricity etc.
The Monitoring & Evaluation Cell (M&E) of the Department plays a pivotal role in
conducting Minor Irrigation Census at an interval of every five years to determine the
condition of agricultural land in the State by assessing the quantum of irrigation potential
created and potential utilized.
Further, to mention here that the M&E Cell had organize d Regional Training

VIII. REPAIR, RENOVATION AND RESTORATION (RRR) OF WATER BODIES
Repair, Restoration and Renovation (RRR) of water bodies, a scheme
launched by the Central Government assumes significant importance in the context of
climatic change and optimization of runoff water. Existing water bodies whose storage
capacity have dwindled can be revived to their original capacity and in permitted cases
can be even increase for further increase of water utilization activity.
Lakes, ponds, river and streams have traditionally played an important role in
conserving water for meeting various needs and demand of the community in Sikkim. In
Sikkim, there are so many existing Water Bodies, namely Gurudongmar Lake,
Memenchu Lake, Tsangu Lake, Kecheopalri Lake, Cho Lamu Lake, Kartok Lake,
Kupup Lake, Uttray Lake, Lamphokhari Lake, Rinchenpong Lake etc. However, due to
the globalization and increase in human activity there is a rapid increase in world‟s
temperature, which has led to drying up of many water sources and this has affected our
state. Hence, to cater to the need and demand of the people the RRR scheme is proposed
to be carried out for revive of various dried water bodies in Sikkim.
The objectives of Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies are
to facilitate irrigation purpose, pisciculture and also to increase the capacity of water
bodies which would further help in ground water recharge. The scheme will assist in the
development of agricultural production/horticulture productivity, development of
tourism and increase the availability of drinking water.
IX. NATIONAL HYDROLOGY PROJECT-III
The National Hydrology Project (NHP) is a 100% funded central Sector Scheme under
the Ministry of Water Resources River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, which is to be
implemented for a period of 8 years for a cost of ₹. 25 Crores for the state of Sikkim. The
entire Project details are available in nhp.mowr.nic.in. The project is funded under World Bank
and follows the World Bank Guidelines.
23
Hydrology Project is being implemented across the country as NHP, to improve the
Planning, Development and Management of Water Resources, as well as flood forecasting and
reservoirs operations in real time basis.
Water Resources and River Development Department is the State Nodal Department to
pursue and implement the project in Sikkim. This Project broadly has the following
components :
Component A: Improving the Water Resources Monitoring System (WRMS) by establishing
network for the meteorological and hydrological stations designed and established for effective
collection of water effective collection of water resources data.
Component B: Improving the Water Resources Information System (WRIS) which will
strengthen and make available remote sensing and spatial information data to water managers
and stake holders through web based portals.
Component C: Promoting Water Resources Operation and Planning System (WROPS), this
will ensure usefulness of WRMS and WRIS data sets through Decision support system (DSS)
for river basin planning, water balance assessments, climate risk assessments, WQ
management, etc.
Component D: Strengthening Water Resources Institutional Capacity Enhancement (WRICE).
This will strengthen and build capacity in the Implementing Agencies (States) through
establishing infrastructure and communication equipment.
The MOA/MOU for implementation of the project has been approved and signed by the
State Government. The activities of the project to be taken up by is contained in the Project
Implementation Plan (PIP) for an estimated cost of ₹. 25 crore which is approved by the
Government of India. In order to implement the Project in the state approval of the State
Cabinet was necessary.
The Implementation of this project was commenced from the year 2017-18 by setting up a
separate State Project Management Unit Office at Sokeythang. The major activities that have
been taken up till date are:
1. Twenty one numbers of locations have been identified at different locations throughout the
State for installation of Hydro-Meteorological instruments for collection of real time data.
The instruments to be installed are five numbers of Automatic Weather Stations, thirteen
24
numbers of Automatic Water Level Recorder and three number of snow pillows with snow
depth sensors. The bid for the installation under the RTDAS is being floated by CWC.
2. Construction of State Water Resources Information Data Centre which will be the centre
for collection and dissemination of all Hydro-Meteorological data in the State. The tender
process has been completed and the work order has been issued. Work is currently under
progress.
3. Setting up of Gauge Discharge Stations at various main rivers and its tributaries which will
help us to ascertain the discharge of the river and also for monitoring the e-flow. All these
data will help in water budgeting. Bid document is under evaluation with Ministry/TAMC.
4. Trainings for capacity building of State Government Officials. This is an ongoing activity
and trainings are attended as and when calls are received from the Ministry/ Organizing
Agencies under NHP.
Activities to be taken up in the coming years are:
1. Purpose Driven Studies to address the specific water related issues pertaining to the State.
This includes water recharge studies for South and West District.
2. Digitization of Hydro-meteorological historical data after collection from various sources.
3. Development of State Water Resources Information System having all Hydro-
Meteorological data which is mandatory for future planning of any Projects within the
State of Sikkim.
Tender process for procurement of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) has been
completed and bidder identified.
The Annual Work Plan for the year 2019-20 had been approved amounting to ₹. 530.4
Lakhs (Rupees Five Lakh Thirty Thousand and Four Hundred) only.
