AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoGlacial-Lake Safety: A pilot siphon at Thorthormi Glacial Lake achieved stable water flow, offering a low-cost, lower-impact approach to reducing outburst-flood risk. NCHM says the successful test will inform plans for a full-scale system. Energy: Bhutan’s electricity generation rose 40 per cent last year, but oil imports remained high: petrol imports climbed 39 per cent and diesel 28 per cent, highlighting transport’s continued reliance on fossil fuels. Urban Nature: Work on Thimphu’s Tshalumarphey Ecological Park is 20 per cent complete. The former Babesa sewerage ponds are being transformed into wetlands, gardens and public spaces. Water-smart Farming: Bhutan’s first flow-through aquaponics prototype, planned for Haa, will reuse treated water and nutrients from rainbow trout farming to grow crops. Climate Resilience: The Wangdue–Thimphu highway faces landslides and drainage damage as extreme weather strains mountain roads; the ministry is pursuing stronger drainage, slope protection and faster responses to blockages.
