  • Water Resources
    Chapter 3 WATER RESOURCES In Sikkim, the role of water resources in the environment is paramount. It is recognized that water is a scarce and precious natural resource to be planned, developed and conserved in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. In doing so, the preservation of the quality of environment and the ecological balance are also of prime consideration. The Teesta is the major river system in the state. THE TEESTA and ITS TRIBUTARIES Teesta river originates as Chhombo Chhu from a glacial lake Khangchung Chho at an elevation of 5,280 m in the northeastern corner of the state. The glacial lake lies at the snout of the Teesta Khangse glacier descending from Pauhunri peak (7,056 m) in north western direction. Teesta Khangse glacier and Chho Lhamo are also considered as the source of Teesta river by many authors. Along its traverse from its origin to the plains, the river receives drainage from a number of tributaries on either side of its course. The tributaries on the eastern flank are shorter in course but larger in number whereas the tributaries on the western flank are much longer with larger drainage areas, consequently contributing much more amount of discharge to the main Teesta river. Furthermore, right-bank tributaries drain heavily glaciated areas with large snow-fields. The left bank tributaries, on the other hand, originate from semi-permanent and much smaller snow-fields as compared to right bank tributaries. The major tributaries of Teesta river are listed below. For better understanding of Teesta river system, it has been divided into a number of river sub-systems which are described in the succeeding paragraphs.

  • Negotiating Routes- Sikkim
    Negotiating Routes ‐ Sikkim ________________________________________________________________Frame Works Collective As part of Negotiating Routes, we chose to look at the changing ecology of North Sikkim where 27 hydro-electric projects are ongoing or proposed in the Teesta River Basin. Our initial idea was to travel through eight-ten villages across the area, collecting narratives of ecology- conversations, experiences and anecdotes that spoke about the altering landscape of the area. The idea was to document the sense of imminent loss through personal stories of people. The idea was to also develop a Green Book that would contain vestiges of the present, in the form of vanishing plant species from the villages that we visited- a Book that was an ecological archive of the area. One of the few groups that had stood up against the dams was Affected Citizens of Teesta (ACT) and they became our key point of contact. The largest hydro power project in Sikkim-the 1200 MW Teesta III project- is coming up in Chungthang, a wayside town in North Sikkim. Chungthang is situated on the confluence of two rivers, Lachen Chu and Lachung Chu, and is en route to the more popular tourist destinations of Yumthang and Gurudongmar Lake in the area. We were told it was once a beautiful place but has today become a typical ‘dam’ town- denuded mountain slopes, huge dam machinery, sounds of blasting tearing through the valley and a huge influx of labour from various parts of the country. Chungthang was a deliberate choice to start our work as we wanted to document the physical and social transformation that the town seemed to embody.
