NATURAL SPRING “CHASHMA NOON BAGLA” ON HIGH HILLS NEAR VILLAGE BHANWAN

This system of closely located three natural springs, the bigger one seen in Plate-VIII, called “Chashma Noon Bagla” with total reported discharge of 30,000 to 45,000 gallons per day, is existing in the area of Bhanwan Village on the slopes of high hills on north side of the site of C3 Colony. Water from these springs has already been harnessed by construction of collection chambers (Diggies) and a GI pies gravity based distribution system has been provided by the Local Government & Rural Development Department of AJ&K, for supply of water to the scattered population on down hill slopes. Sufficient quantity of spring water was seen flowing waste during visit to this spring on 21-02-2009, refer Plate-VIII, which can also be tapped and conducted by gravity flow based GI pipe line of appropriate size into the proposed storage tank for C3 Colony on a much low elevation to be used as supplementary emergency supply during acute dry season of low yield from sprongs-1 & 2 discussed earlier.
