Abstract
Mountain natural springs, a main fresh water sources for millions of people residing in Himalayan terrain are increasingly drying up, or becoming seasonal, causing untold misery to both rural and urban inhabitants of the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR). Consequently, many programmes were undertaken for rejuvenation of these spring sources. Jal Abhayaranya project of GBP-NIHE is one such initiative through which the Institute envisages development and management of one sustainable spring source of water within selected villages for ensuring the water security of the village. The propagation of the Jal Abhayaranya model is initiated with Inception Workshops through Webinar mode on 5th October, 2020 at GBP-NIHE Kosi - Katarmal, Almora, Uttarakhand. The deliberations of the workshop are highlighted here for the audience with the purpose of dissemination activities.
