Government of Nepal National Reconstruction Authority Central Government of Nepal National Reconstruction Authority Central Level Project Implementation Unit District Level Project Implementation Unit (Grant Management and Local Infrastructure) Rasuwa Completion Report of Plantation and Bioengineering work at Thulogaun community forest Uttargaya Rural Municipality July, 2019 1. Introduction Rasuwa is one of the worst affected districts by the 25 April earthquake. As of 8 May, 430 people have been reported killed and 753 injured (MoFA 08/05/2015). Most of those that died in the district were killed in an avalanche that buried inhabitants of Langtang village including tourists in the guesthouses. Some remote areas are yet to be reached or accounted for. More than 63% of the district’s territory is at an elevation of more than 3000 meters. Of the remaining territory, most parts are located at an elevation between 1000 – 3000 meters (University of Copenhagen 2005) and parts of Rasuwa were without road access even before the earthquake, further challenging the relief effort. In the first few days after the earthquake very little information was available from Rasuwa. Field reports have gradually come in that help understand the situation. Initial estimates based on Government data of damaged buildings in the affected districts, suggests that 82% of the population of Rasuwa have been affected by the earthquake. According to Government data, 8,000 buildings were destroyed in the earthquake The Government of Nepal (GON) has requested support from a number of development partners, including the WB, to address the immediate and term of the damage inflicted by the earthquake in Nepal The project will support in restoring affected houses with multi hazard resistant core housing units in target areas and to enhance government’s ability to improve long-term disaster resilience. Initially, the EHRP is to be completed by July 2020. Considering the further need to support GoN, International Development Association (the World Bank) has agreed to support additional US$300 million loan to finance the Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Project (EHRP). Environment and Social Management Framework serves as a practical tool to ensure that environment and social aspects are duly considered in the planning and implementation process of earthquake housing reconstruction project. Accordingly, Revised ESMF, have guided to address the environmental and social issues of the projects by site-specific environmental and social management plan after selection of the sub-projects prioritized by orientation and consultation in the respective local government. Hence, this Plantation and Bioengineering work at Thulogaun community forest helps to overcome the loss of forest products used in reconstruction of houses. Dependency in forest product after earthquake for daily use had been increased in this ward. Thus, to increase the forest and number of trees in this area plantation work is most essential. 2. Objectives of ESMP The objective of the Environmental and Social Management Plan area as follow To address the site-specific environmental and social issues of earthquake housing reconstruction projects. To support in mitigation measures of the environmental and social issues To aware community about the importance of Environment and social harmonization. Compensatory plantation of the trees. 2 3. Site Description The sub-project was located at Thologaun, Village Ward No. 03 of Uttargaya Rural Municipality, South of the Rasuwa district. The climate of the Rasuwa district varies from sub tropical to temperate and alpine, but most of the area has a temperate and alpine type of climate. The average annual rainfall is 994.3 mm and occurs mainly during June, July and august. The average temperature in Dhunche 22.6 degree centigrade and minimum temperature varies 11.5 degree centigrade. The minimum temperature in Dhunche goes down to 0 degree centigrade and the maximum up to 25 degree .According to Census. 2011 the population of Ward No. 03 of the rural municipality is 1145. The area is dominated by Gurung ethnic communities whereas presence of Brahim, Tamang is relatively closer to that of Dalits in these ward is mostly Buddist, hindu and Christian by religion. The site is located at Sindhure Dhunga Community Forest users committee at ward no 3. 300 numbers of beneficiaries are directly benefited from this project and more than 800 are indirectly benefited from the plantation. In Ward No. 03 of Uttargaya Rural Municipality, the total housing reconstruction beneficiaries are 396 of which 396, 380 and 330 have already received 1st Tranche, 2nd Tranche and 3rd Tranche respectively as of 2019/03/25 EHRP-MIS data. 4. Environmental and Social Issues The site verification carried out on 2075/09/03 along with district engineer, social development and environment specialist, the households are facing the problem of fire hood and timber for reconstruction. The topography of the area is hilly and plantation site is located at flat hill and the area is barren .To increase the greenery and forest area the plantation site is appropriate. The importance of trees in purifying the air, as natural resources, maintaining the ecological balance, preventing soil erosion, as medicines, habitats for faunal species, providing nutrients to the soil etc. is well known. The housing reconstruction had direct impact on this community forest and the trees had been cleared for the housing purpose. As for the part of loss of trees the plantation work is most essential and effective.The plantation was carried in combined effort of RM, CF, UG and DLPIU. 5. Salient features of the project The detail of the salient feature is attached in the ANNEX-I 6. Project Implementation schedule S.No Activities Date Remarks 1.

ESMP implementation Cost The total cost of the project was: Net payable Cost from NRA/GMali /DLPIU – Nrs 4,08,586 Users contribution- Nrs 74,661.80 Total cost of the project After completion– Nrs 4,17,718 9. Implementation arrangement The plantation was implemented as described in the flow chart •Consultation workshop Preliminar •Field verification y phase •Desk Review and finalization of project Secondary •ESMP and salient feature preparation Phase •Cost estimate and design •Coordination with RM for UG formation •Document collection , discussion with CF and UG agreement Implemen tation •Technical support and field visit phase •Monitoring at construction •RM/ward recommendation of completion •Field verification Completion phase •Bill measurement and payment As mentioned above the project had been completed under close supervision and coordination with DLPIU/GMaLI, RM and Users committee. 4 10. Monitoring and evaluation The plantation project had been completed under the supervision of the Engineers/ sub engineers from the DLPIU and RM. The project had been accomplished as per the estimate provided. The plantation had provided support hope of regeneration and restoration of the biodiversity in their community forest. The loss of the timber during reconstruction activities will be minimized by this compensatory plantation. The plantation work was closely monitored by the team of RM/ward/DLPIU/CF and UG committee. 10. Outcome of the project Since the project is completed recently the major outcomes are yet to come but the outputs of plantation include: The plantation works will support the ward residents. Some of the top advantages of growing trees include: Providing fruits and leaves that serve as food for birds, animals as well as human beings. Maintaining bio diversity at community forest. Providing wood, rubber and other raw materials that are used for manufacturing various goods such as furniture, doors, windows and decorative items. Conservation of water resources. Habitat for birds and animals. Climate Control. Preservation of soil erosion The HHs dependency in the community forest for fuel wood and timber was comparatively higher to that availability of the timber for the housing reconstruction. But the ward and CF reluctantly made the decision to provide the timber at urgency without any legal documentation. Thus the plantation work had energized the community toward the biodiversity conservation and for its sustainable use. 11. Sustainability of the project The Plantation users committee as well the community forest user's community had owned the ownership for the conservation and regular observation of the plant growth. Since the plantation project wa recommended by the rural municipality and the ward itself .So the ward had strong support for the plantation work. The community forest is only the major source of timber and forest products for the community of more than 800 HHs .Thus the community themselves are aware of the sustainable use of the forest products. Rural Municipality, CF and Wards had realized the further plantation and protection work in this Sindhure Dhunga Community forest in next fiscal year. The community, users committee and ward had decided for the further caring of the saplings. 12. Lesson learned Higher demand of the community to support in fencing works. Lack of interests in users committee contribution. 5 PHOTOGRAPHS Fig 1: Plantation site Fig 2: After Plantation Prepared by: Approved by: Safeguard Team DLPIU Chief 6 Annex-I Detail Cost-Estimate .

  • Landslide Susceptibility in Rasuwa District of Central Nepal After the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake
    Journal of Nepal Geological Society, 2019, vol. 59, pp. 79–88 DOI: https://doi.org/103126/jngs.v59i0.24992 Landslide susceptibility in Rasuwa District of central Nepal after the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake *Badal Pokharel1,2 and Prem Bahadur Thapa1 1Department of Geology, Tri-Chandra Multiple Campus, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Himalayan Risk Research Institute, Bhaktapur, Nepal *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The 2015 Gorkha Earthquake (7.8 Mw) triggered several landslides in central Nepal with major damages in 14 districts. Among them, the Rasuwa district at the north of Kathmandu Valley faced severe landslides due to rugged topography, complex geology and improper landuse development. The landslides had blocked the Pasang Lhamu Highway and dammed the Trishuli River at many places. A total of 1416 landslide locations were detected in the district from high resolution satellite images in Google Earth. In this study, landslide susceptibility was modeled in the Rasuwa District by considering slope, aspect, elevation, geology, peak ground acceleration (PGA), landuse, drainage proximity and thrust proximity as the predictive factors for landslide occurrences. The landslide inventory was split into 70% and 30% portions as the training dataset and testing dataset respectively. The results from modified frequency ratio (FR) suggest that effect of geology with prediction rate 2.52 is the highest among all factors and is followed by elevation (2.38) and drainage proximity (2.12). The results were verified using area under curve (AUC) and the prediction rate was found to be 79.14%. The computed landslide susceptibility map is helpful for landuse planning and landslide risk reduction measure in the Rasuwa District.

  • Changing Rural Livelihood Strategies in the Community of Goljung, Rasuwa
    The Third Pole: Journal of Geography Vol. 17: 20-36, 2017 Department of Geography Education, Central Department of Education, T.U., Kathmandu, Nepal CHANGING RURAL LIVELIHOOD STRATEGIES IN THE COMMUNITY OF GOLJUNG, RASUWA Dhyanendra Bahadur Rai1 Abstract Different patterns of livelihood are found in different places within same community or different communities over the generation. Therefore livelihood strategy is a changing process of an individual or a household level of economic and social activities in order to fulfill daily livelihood needs. This paper seeks to explore the changing rural livelihood strategies of a community in mountain region of Nepal. The study is mainly based on primary data collected from field survey, focus group discussion (FGD) and key informant interview (KII). Questionnaire survey was conducted within 52 households by applying random sampling method. Likewise five KII and three FGDs were conducted and participants belonged to different field i.e. ward chairperson, ward women member, businessmen, wage labor, farmer and social worker. The finding indicates that livelihood strategies are changing rapidly in the rural areas. Similarly, multiple sources of income of a household have resulted into secured livelihood system in Goljung. Despite the fact that the agriculture with livestock farming was an important traditional source of livelihood in the past, the roles of non-agricultural sectors have become significant for livelihood sustaining in the rural community in Goljung, Rasuwa in the present days. After a decade, development of the hydro-electricity projects and trade route between Nepal and China has played the catalyst role for changing rural livelihoods of local people in this village.

Nature Sah and (2011) N.R. 9: Devkota128-137/Our Nature (2011) 9:128-137 Transhumance Effect on Husbandry Practices and Physiological Attributes of Chauri (Yak-Cattle) in Rasuwa District D.K. Chetri*, D.B. Nepali Karki, R. Sah and N.R. Devkota Institute of Agriculture and Animal Sciences (IAAS), TU, Nepal *E-mail: [email protected] Received: 01.05.2011, Accepted: 27.11.2011 Abstract This study was conducted in Rasuwa district, Nepal from 2008 to 2009 in Chauries (3 to 16 years) to analyze the transhumance effect in husbandry practices and physiological vitals. Physiological vitals were evaluated by 2×4 Factorial CRD with two levels of altitude (high- 3300 m and low- 1655 m) and four levels of age group (G1- ≤6 yrs, G2- 7 to 9 yrs, G3- 10 to 13 yrs and G4- >13 yrs); information regarding husbandry practices were collected from herders (n=60) using semi-structured questionnaire. Physiological vitals were taken from two altitudes, then analyzed for two- way ANOVA by Mstat- C and survey data by SPSS 16.0. Husbandry practices were found to be almost similar round the year except the matter of herbage supplementation during winter and early parturition. Rectal temperature, respiration rate, pulse rate and DSI showed significant increase (P<0.01) when animals were at low altitude pasture. Therefore, findings of this study revealed that transhumance system of Chauri management is herders' rational farming approach to make use of available pastures at different altitudes and have a distinct impact on rearing system and animals' physiology.

Non-Technical Updated Environmental and Social Assessment Summary Report Chapter 6 Upper-Trishuli Hydroelectric Power Project Current Environmental and Social Baseline Conditions (Bajracharya et al. 2011) indicate climate change will affect flow regimes, as glaciers continue to decline in some parts of the region and monsoon patterns may become altered. Hydrographic data for the Project are based on a 44-year record of continuous daily observations made at Betrawati (Gauge Station 447, Nepal Department of Hydrology and Meteorology), located 14 kilometres downstream of the proposed UT-1 powerhouse (see Figure 6.1-8). To predict daily hydrographs at the UT-1 intake, Betrawati gauge data are adjusted downward by a factor of 0.8971 to account for the slightly smaller watershed area upstream of the gauge. The daily hydrographs show the extent of variation in daily discharge for representative low-flow and high-flow in years 1970 and 2000 respectively (see Figure 6.1-9).
