Saroj is from Janakpur and has been working in Rasuwa since April 2016. He was initially deployed as a ward engineer in ward no. 4 of Gosaikunda Rural Municipality in Rasuwa. After a year he was transferred from Gosaikunda to Dhunche (the district headquarters) as focal engineer. Saroj shares his experience working in the recovery phase. He found the move from his home place in the Terai to the hills and mountains of Rasuwa challenging. He also faced language barriers as he does not speak the local language and found it hard to communicate Saroj Kumar Yadav with people. Focal Engineer, Dhunche, Rasuwa 15 April 2019 Page 2 of 17 HRRP Bulletin Housing Recovery and Reconstruction Platform, Nepal One of this month’s featured technical staff people is Aashutosh Joshi. Aashutosh is from Doti in the far west of Nepal. He is based in Nechasalyan Rural Municipality, Solukhumbu which is almost a 3 day journey from his home. Aashutosh shares that the main issue identified in all wards of Nechasalyan Rural Municipality is that the majority of houses are damaged, but people are living in them and they are unwilling to build a new house to receive the government grant. The small number of houses that have been rebuilt are non-compliant and require corrections. Aashutosh has been working to provide information on retrofitting and applying correction measures to house owners and supporting Aashutosh Joshi them through this process.

  • 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.

  • Transhumance Effect on Husbandry Practices and Physiological Attributes of Chauri (Yak-Cattle) in Rasuwa District
    D.K. Chetri, D.B. Nepali Karki,Our R. 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).
