Bhutan launches nationwide water conservation drive
Bhutan launches month‑long national campaign to protect water sources from climate impacts and pollution, emphasizing sustainable water use and community action.
Bhutan has initiated a nationwide water conservation and awareness drive focused on safeguarding rivers, streams and groundwater amid growing climate pressures. The campaign highlights risks of drying water sources due to climate change, forest degradation and pollution, and calls for strict waste control around water bodies. Local authorities and environmental groups are coordinating cleanup operations, monitoring illegal dumping and promoting household water‑saving practices. The effort ties into Bhutan’s broader pledge to maintain carbon neutrality and protect watersheds critical for hydropower, agriculture and biodiversity.
