Water management is central to the landscape and culture of Ziro.
* **Kley River:** This is the primary river flowing through the Ziro Valley. * **Irrigation Networks:** The valley is crisscrossed by an ancient, complex network of small streams and canals engineered by the Apatani tribe. These waterways ingeniously distribute water from the main rivers to the terraced paddy fields for both rice and fish cultivation. * **Sikhe Lake:** A recently developed artificial lake near Ziro that has become a popular spot for boating and picnicking.
