Inaugurated the first of its kind Rock Check Dam on River Sindhu in Leh, under the ambitious “Sindhu Jal Samriddhi Abhiyan”, conceived as a sustainable, cost-effective solution for water and agricultural sustainability in Ladakh. Unlike the traditional concrete check dams, this innovative Rock Check Dam is semi-permanent barrier, built by interlocking big rocks, collected from the riverbed. This slows down the flow of the river and creates a huge water pondage area, to be used by farmers for agricultural purposes. Dimensions & Scale: •Location: Upshi, Ladakh Altitude: 11,400 ft •Length of the check dam – 200 feet •Base Width – 30 feet •Top deck width – 15 feet •Height – 5 feet •Rocks used – 180 MT (approx) •Pondage area – Approx 500 meters upstream •Water Storage Capacity – 40 million litres (approx) •Construction time – 7 days •Construction cost – Rs 10 lakh The Rock check dam has been designed to withhold water pressure and prevent it from getting washed away when the water level in the river increases during summer months. Have directed the Irrigation & Flood Control Department to construct three more such check dams, on experimental basis. I am confident, this Rock Check Dam would emerge as an imitable model of engineering ingenuity and ecological sensitivity. It will offer sustainable remedy for farmers’ irrigation woes, strengthen water security and support sustainable agriculture in remote villages of Ladakh.

The Drakensberg mountain range is the source of the biggest rivers in South Africa, the uThukela River also known as Tugela, following east to the Indian Ocean, and the Orange River flowing west to the Atlantic Ocean and the West Coast. Both rivers have their source within a few kilometres of each other at the top of the escarpment in Lesotho. The uThukela River, while it naturally flows eastwards through KZN, is actually one of the primary sources of water for the Gauteng region through an interbasin transfer that pumps water up over the escarpment from Woodstock Dam to Sterkfontein Dam and then through other Vaal River that feeds into Gauteng’s water supply. The river falls into South Africa at the majestic Tugela Falls in the Royal Natal National Park and then flows through the Amazizi community into Woodstock dam, where it’s met by the Mnweni river tributary. The famous Amphitheatre, Tugela Falls has become one of the well sought after adventure routes. Declared in August 2021 by the World Waterfall Barometer, this hike will take you approximately 7 hours. It’s strenuos and has 2 chain ladders that are side by side, used to climb up the mountain. Drive to the Sentinel Car Park , after approximately 3 hours of climbing, hikers can be on top of the rugged basalt mountain, taking in the magnificent, breathtaking landscapes and visiting the top of the Falls. This should be in every hiker’s bucket list. It’s ideal to visit around summer when the waterfall is visible. #LetsGoWild #DrakensbergSummer
