Leh (Ladakh)/Jammu and Kashmir [India], September 9: Bisleri International, India’s leading packaged drinking water company, proudly announces the successful restoration of an existing irrigation water reservoir in Sumoor Village, Nubra Valley, Leh. This project is part of Bisleri’s ‘Project Nayi Umeed’, which continues to address critical water needs in the region by restoring essential water infrastructure. The reservoir underwent a thorough desilting and repair process to optimize its capacity and operational efficiency and is now able to hold 12 million litres of water.
The reservoir will provide a reliable water supply for irrigation, directly benefiting 200 households in Sumoor Village. The restored reservoir will play a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities, ensuring that the community can maintain their crops throughout the year. The project addresses the pressing issue of water scarcity, which has historically impacted agricultural productivity and the livelihoods of local farmers.
Speaking about the initiative, Mr. K Ganesh, Director – Sustainability & Corporate Affairs said, “Bisleri is dedicated to empowering communities through sustainable water management solutions. The restoration of the reservoir in Nubra Valley represents our continued commitment to providing long-term benefits to the people of this region. Last year, we successfully impacted the lives of 210 families and approximately 1,050 households in Ladakh. This success has motivated us to extend the initiative, aiming to reach even more families. By ensuring a steady water supply, we are helping to secure the agricultural future of Sumoor Village and promoting the overall well-being of its residents.”
Adding to this, Mr. Rigzen Lundup, Councillor, stated, “Ladakh’s arid, cold climate depends on snowmelt and glacier runoff for water, but climate change has reduced availability due to fluctuating snowfall and rising temperatures. In these challenging conditions, we applaud Bisleri’s initiative to restore the reservoir as a vital achievement for our community. Bisleri’s unwavering support has been instrumental in overcoming past water scarcity challenges and enhancing our agricultural resilience. We are looking forward to bringing enduring prosperity to Sumoor Village with this project.”
In 2023, Bisleri successfully restored a similar reservoir in the region, and this new endeavor is an extension that further demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainable development. This initiative is a key component of the ‘Bisleri Greener Promise’ philosophy, dedicated to combating climate change, ensuring access to safe and healthy water, and fostering a robust circular economy. Under the ‘Project Nayi Umeed’, Bisleri has successfully built or restored 250 check dams, harvesting nearly 25 billion litres of water. These efforts have directly benefitted over 280 villages and nearly 53,000 farmers, irrigating more than 17,000 acres of land.
