Ponds are being built in high mountains and forests. In the completed ponds, water has been brought from a distance in pipes and collected in the ponds. The pond water is not for irrigation of any farm but for birds and wild animals.
A 12,000-liter pond has been built in the Mauwabari forest of Gaide Community Forest, Shitganga Municipality-11, with an investment of 50,000 rupees from the Division Forest Office and one and a half lakh rupees from the Forest Department and 58,000 rupees from the Forest Consumer Group in the same forest. Both ponds are filled with water. There are birds living in the forest, including vultures, peacocks, parrots, birds, doves, crows, forest chickens and wild animals such as leopards, rats, wild boars, deers, deers, deers, etc.
Forest Secretary Sita Belvase said that the pond was made so that it would be easy for them to drink water when they feel thirsty. She said that the chirping of birds can be heard all day around the pond and the birds can be seen drinking water in the pond. She said that the pond was built to protect the animals and birds in the forest and to use the water in case of fire in the forest.
With the financial support of the Ministry of Forest and Environment of the Lumbini State Government, the Land and Watershed Management Office is rapidly constructing 10 ponds in the high forest. Two ponds have been dug in Sandhikhark municipality-7, one in Panini rural municipality-6 Dhatiwang, two in Shitaganga municipality-13 and one in ward 9. Similarly, the information officer of Land and Watershed Management Office Rakesh Bahadur Kunwar said that recharge ponds are being constructed in Daredhunga, Lauri and 7 Bamruk of Malarani Rural Municipality-6, Archulpokhara, Malipokhara of Chhatradeo Rural Municipality. After the water source dries up, the locals have asked to build a pond. Locals say that when a pond is built over a source of water, it will recharge and the source will not dry up . The ponds being constructed in the district have been contracted for 5 to 7 lakh rupees.
After the completion of the construction, water will be collected in the pond . These are recharge ponds . "Mainly, the purpose of making a pond in this way is that the birds and wild animals can easily drink water, the forest does not die due to lack of water, and the number of birds in this area increases," said Shambhu Shankar Jha, head of the Land and Watershed Management Office, "The benefits of the pond are multifaceted." He said that the land recharges, water sources cannot and even domestic animals can easily drink water.
When there is water in the pond for twelve months, green grass grows on the ground around and below, and trees grow and become a forest, he said. A few years ago there were traditional ponds at Kharkchaur and Gargare in Sandhikhark Municipality-7 Khanchikot. According to Chura Bahadur KC, Chairman of Ward 7, when there was rain for twelve months, wild animals, cattle and goats used to drink water. The chirping of birds could be heard in the nearby forest. Decades ago, when the pond was not protected, it was buried and disappeared. After that, the birds stopped being seen around. The water sources of the villagers also dried up.
KC said that after the traditional pond dried up, the birds were no longer visible in this area and the trees were gradually drying up. He said that after building a pond, the birds will be able to eat when there is water. He said that drinking water was distributed to two hundred and fifty houses of Khanchikot village by lift from the Sayadhara spring on the lower side. During summer, the water in the spring dries up. "When it was lost in the pond, the source of water in the spring decreased like before," KC said, "It is scientific to collect water by building a pond on a high mountain. In order to maintain the source of water in wells, drinking fountains, ponds have to be constructed for birds and wild animals.' Someone lost . At that time, water was fed to the pond when the cattle grazed . Now they are looking for the same place and are building it with spades. "Having a pond like this in a public place is also a beauty," Sandhikhark Municipality Chief Krishna Prasad Shrestha said, "Decades ago there were birds and wild animals in the forest. Shrestha said that the recharge pond to be built in the high place of the village should be built immediately as the pond is necessary for humans, cattle, birds, wild animals and disaster management. He said that the municipality has prepared to build ponds in Tolaipichche villages of all 12 wards. He says that since water sources have dried up everywhere, ponds should be built at high places to recharge them.
