At its core, the project was designed to ensure a reliable and secure water supply, which is crucial for the boosting sturgeon farming industry in Bhutan. The beginning of this initiative can be traced back to the realization of the indispensability of a pristine and uninterrupted water supply for sturgeon farming. Renowned as one of the rarest and most sought-after fish, sturgeons play a key role in the aquaculture sector, especially given their contribution to the production of luxury items like caviar.
In-depth studies and assessments led to the identification of Gerichhu as an ideal water source. This water source meets the specific needs essential for commercially rearing sturgeon, especially for breeding and the production of the highly prized caviar. By harnessing this water supply system, it can be assured to meet the requisite water demands for sturgeon farming at a commercial scale, paving the way for a sustainable and lucrative future for sturgeon farming in Bhutan.
