Introduction to the Project Nyadi Hydropower Project (NHP) is a run-of-river type project, located in Lamjung District of Western Development Region of Nepal. In October 2006, Butwal Power Company Limited (BPC) and LEDCO had an understanding to develop the project together. According to this understanding, a new company named as “Nyadi Hydropower Limited” was established. The project has an installed capacity of 30 MW and will generate 180.24 GWh of energy annually. Project Location The entire project area (i.e. intake to powerhouse) is located within the BahunDanda Village Development Committee (VDC) in Lamjung District, Gandaki Zone as shown in Fig. 1. The NHP is located on the right bank of Nyadi Khola which is one of the tributaries of Marsyangdi River. NEPAL Bhairahawa (Nepal) Sunauli (India) Birganj (Nepal) INDIA Raxaul (India) Figure 1. Access to Project Site from Indian International boundary Fig. 2. Project location in Lamjung Access to Project site: The nearest road head to project site from district headquarter of Lamjung; Besisahar is located at Thakenbesi 22 km gravel road of Besisahar-Chame road. Road upto district headquarter Besisahar is blacktop. Besisahar is 185 km west from the Kathmandu and reach by the prithivi highway up to Dumre and Besisahar is 45 km from Dumre. Nearest Road head from Project Site be reached in following ways from the different parts of the Country. Technical Features of the Project Nyadi Hydropower Project is a run-of-the-river type project. The proposed system of the power plant will be run for its full capacity of 30 MW for about 5 months of the year. The design discharge of the proposed plant is 11.08 m3/s and has about 40-percentile probability of Exceedence. The river gradient is quite steep and thus it will carry relatively big boulders. The proposed project layout is the best option selected amongst the various alternatives during the study. The project layout is finalized based on the findings of the site visits. The main components of the project comprises of 13 m width and 5.3 m high diversion weir with 2.5m wide under sluice, side orifice intake, gravel trap, two bays of settling basin (128 m length and 8 m width), 4 km long headrace tunnel, surge shaft, 476 m long surface steel penstock with vertical shaft, underground powerhouse with access tunnel and 356.50 m long tailrace tunnel. There will be 3 (three) Pelton turbines to generate the power. Furthermore, there are two tunnel adits near the Naiche Village and near Nana Village. These Adits act as accesses to the headrace tunnel and surge shaft respectively and are so positioned that the tunnel construction can be expedited General Project Layout .

Nutritional Status and Social Influences in Dalit and Brahmin Women and Children in Lamjung Using Mixed Methods
Nutritional status and social influences in Dalit and Brahmin women and children in Lamjung using mixed methods A. Objective and Specific Aims Objective: - To measure nutritional status, of women (18-44 years) and children under five (6-59 months), of Dalit and Brahmins by taking anthropometric measures in Lamjung district, Western Nepal - To conduct structured surveys and qualitative assessments of how underlying social and behavioral factors, e.g. availability, access and utilization of food, and childcare, influence nutritional status of Dalit and Brahmin women and their children Specific Aims: - To obtain the anthropometric measurements of height, weight and upper arm circumference to determine indicators of nutritional status including underweight, stunting and wasting among children under five; and to determine body mass index (BMI) among their mothers and stepmothers (if living in a same household) - To administer structured surveys to obtain household and socio-demographic information such as number of offspring and co-wives, caste status (Dalits or Brahmins), age of women and children, socio-economic status (SES) and food insecurity information - To conduct in-depth interviews of a subsample of Dalit and Brahmin women to understand how socio-cultural aspects in their lives affect food insecurity B. Background and significance It can be hypothesized that in Nepal, the social status of Dalit women– a collection of the untouchable castes – could contribute to having a lower nutritional status of themselves and their children, compared to maternal and child malnutrition among Brahmin castes (the highest ranked caste) residing in the same villages. This association between social status and malnutrition has been consistently found in developing nations (Gurung, 2010).

A Study of Water and Sanitation in Rural Villages of Lamjung District, Nepal: Challenges and Sustainable Solutions
Master’s Thesis 2016 - 30 ECTS (per student) Department of Environmental Sciences (IMV) A study of water and sanitation in rural villages of Lamjung District, Nepal: challenges and sustainable solutions Gabrielle Hairabedian and Tara Bartnik Master of Science in Environment and Natural Resources - Specialisation Sustainable Water and Sanitation, Health and Development Acknowledgements We would really like to thank Ingeniører Uten Grenser, Norsk vannforening and Hjellnes Consult for providing funding towards our transport, living expenses and project costs in Nepal. Thank you to our supervisor and co-supervisors Professor Petter Jenssen, Manoj Pandey and Associate Professor Iswar Amatya for their insight and making this thesis possible. Thank you to the four community health and food security volunteers that received us in their homes: Kyle Hugo, Celine Smith, Cheng-Hui Wong and Elie Amkraut. Thank you to our two interpreters who made administration and deliverance of the survey possible: Manoj Pangeni and Sajak Upadhyaya. A special thank you to Shreerendra Pokharel for his guidance on EcoSan technology, we wish you all the best with your future endeavours. i Abstract Many people throughout the world still lack safe and affordable access to drinking water and basic sanitation. As of this year, only 83.3% and 53.1% of the population in Nepal will have ‘improved’ water resources and sanitation facilities, respectively. Improvements in water and sanitation infrastructure results in benefits to health, education and livelihoods. During March 2016, an investigation of the existing water and sanitation situation in Lamjung District was undertaken to understand the key issues facing the region. In total, 50 surveys were carried out in four different Village Development Committees (VDCs) across the district, working with the aid of four Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) and two Nepali interpreters.
