Jampui : The Mussourie of North East India Requires Immediate Water Conservation Measures

Main Feature :

Jampui is in North Tripura, on the border between Tripura and Mizoram. This is a hill station with peaceful landscapes and breathtaking views. Nevertheless, the area depends on the water that rainwater collection structures store during the rainy season because of the region's severe water shortage during the non-monsoon season. Because of its geographical and geomorphological characteristics, most of the water flows out of Jampui.

The Ministry of Jal Shakti must take immediate action to address the need for water conservation measures in this region or the area will completely run dry and have no access to water within the next five to seven years. The region's porous terrain and steep embankments, which force water to flow out after showering, are its main problems.

During the Monsoon season, Jampui receives nearly 400mm of rain per month, but the temperature in the region remains between 2 and 32 degrees Celsius. As a result, the majority of the rainfall evaporates back into the atmosphere. Because of the landscape and as there are no large wetland-like water bodies to store and conserve rainwater, all remaining water flows out of the region into Amarpur's lower plains. Residents of the hill are forced to rely on rainwater collected through their efforts.

However, Jampui is quickly becoming a popular tourist destination. The water demand will increase as a result of the influx of tourists. That is why an urgent water conservation effort is required for this location. (All data of Jampui is collected from IMD and CGWB Reports.)
