At this era, most springs are near threatened by the change of weather patterns. We are observing the drying of springs in every part of the hill’s districts. As a result, there is chances of losing the ecological balance of surrounding environment, both the floral and faunal species including humans. We are late but still have time to maintain and restore the incredible services that springs anchor. The directorate of environment and climate change is organizing the six-day spring source survey at Lunghar village, Ukhrul district, around 114 kms from the capital Imphal in collaboration with the ACWADAM, ICIMOD,PSI and SDC. The village is supplying drinking water to the Ukhrul headquarter from the springs comes from the Phangrei mountain range. This is the reason for giving greater emphasis on selecting Lunghar village for the pilot study. There are around 25 springs present under the jurisdiction of Lunghar village.
