A study was conducted to identify and documentation of the natural springs in Namsai district, Arunachal Pradesh in the year 2020. A total of 171 villages of 5 circles of Namsai, district i.e. Namsai, Lekang, Lathao, Piyong and Chongkham were surveyed. Identified and documented 184 springs of different types from 134 villages. Of which, 19 were brooks, 116 were dhara, 09 naula and 40 were seeps. These springs as per their origin were also categorized as depression springs (144 nos.), joint/ fractured springs (31nos.) and contact springs (09nos.). The springs along with latitude, longitude, elevation, spring type, flow/ discharge (L/Sec), temperature (°C), pH, EC (µs), TDS (ppm), associated land, resource threat, degree of threat, scouring, conflicting issue, conflict type, stressors, ownership etc were determined and documented.
