A CHANGE IN PHAYENG VILLAGE - DEVELOPING OF A CARBON POSITIVE ECO-MODEL VILLAGE
The overall objective of the project is to enhance the climate resilience of the community and their adaptive or coping capacity. Primary objective of the programme is to develop a model carbon positive eco village in the Himalayan Ecosystem blending traditional and modern adaptive practices to reduce vulnerability and enhance resilience for traditional livelihood. The project applies an innovative method of resource conservation and eco-system based adaptation in the model village. At present, the villagers have experienced many types of climate anomaly. Rainfall has become totally erratic.

SPRINGSHED MANAGEMENT OF PHAYENG: A CASE STUDY
Over the years, many of these springs are drying up or becoming seasonal especially in the lean season resulting in very meagre discharge leading to water scarcity. In the wake of global warming and climate change, the sponge effect of the land will decreased resulting in very less percolation of the rainwater. The percolation percentage of rainwater through deforested slopes has been estimated to be less than 15 % which will be available for recharge of the springs. The remaining fraction of rainwater will flow down causing floods and hampering the hydrological balance.
