  • Geology of the Area Between Bardibas and Sindhuli Madi, Sub-Himalaya, Central Nepal
    Journal of Nepal Geological Society, 2019, vol. 58 (Sp. Issue), pp. 131–138 DOI: https://doi.org/10.3126/jngs.v58i0.24597 Geology of the area between Bardibas and Sindhuli Madi, Sub-Himalaya, central Nepal *Amit Shrestha1, Govind Joshi1, Lalu Prasad Paudel1, Soma Nath Sapkota2, and Rafael Almeida3 1Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Department of Mines and Geology, Lainchaur, Kathmandu, Nepal 3Earth Observatory Singapore, Nanyang Tenchnological University, Singapore *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Siwalik Group (Sub-Himalaya) is the east-west extending youngest mountain belt formed by the sediments derived from the rising Himalaya on the north. The Siwalik Group is separated from the Lesser Himalaya to the north by the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT), and the Indo-Gangetic Plain to the south by the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT). The study was carried out mainly along the Ratu Nadi, Kamala Nadi river sections and was lithostratigraphically divided into the Lower Siwalik, Middle Siwalik, and Upper Siwalik, from the bottom to the top section, respectively. The Lower Siwalik is composed of fine-grained greenish grey calcareous sandstone (subarkose and lithic arenite), variegated mudstone, and calcareous siltstone. The Lower Siwalik is exposed due to the Marine Khola Thrust in the Gadyauli Khola, and sandstone there is more indurated and non-calcareous. The Middle Siwalik is mainly comprised of the medium- to coarse-grained salt-and-pepper sandstone (arkose and subarkose) with large cross lamination, calcareous sand lenses, convolute bedding, dark grey siltstone and mudstone. Plant fossils are also present in the finely laminated clay bed of the Middle Siwalik along the Ratu Nadi section.

No.: Kathmandu, Nepal Foreword Nepal has made significant progress in achieving good results in school enrolment by having more children in school over the past decade, in spite of the unstable situation in the country. However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education.

To maintain sustainable growth in the economic and social sector, it is well accepted that transportation means and facilities should be developed accordingly. TRANSPORTATION Roads are the principal mode of transport in Nepal carrying 90% of freight and passenger traffic. ROAD At present Transportation needs of Nepal are being met by either roads or air travel. TRANSPORTATION The world over, growth of modern industry has moved along the railway network. This is because the railways can carry bigger quantities at a lower cost over long distances and that too in much lesser time.

    Civic Assessment Cope Volunteer Team: Report Dipashna Acharya | Mahesh Dahal | Shrey Regmi | Anup Cope Nepal Satyal | Himanshu Tripathi 08/31/2020 Introduction We are a group of volunteers whose sole purposes is to analyze publicly available data on the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in Nepal. We hope to provide insights to public and private stakeholders (Government bodies and I/NGOs), who might utilize some of the information for intervention and relief programs. **** A NOTE ON COVID DATA SOURCES **** For COVID-19 data, we rely on an API built by Nepal Coronavirus Information (website: https://nepalcorona.com/data/api). We have traced the API’s data source back to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA), which provides daily updates on each individual case identified in the country along with – for our purposes – the age, gender, occupation, geographic location (point-coordinates) of the same. As NDRRMA’s data has been structured and made available in API form by Nepal Coronavirus Information, we use the API and, as a result, have no direct link to NDRMMA’s systems and processes. Confirmed Cases The charts above show the progression of COVID-19 in Nepal ever since the first case was detected in January of this year. The chart on the left shows the growth in the total number of cumulative cases across the country. We note that while the total had started to stabilize around July, since August, the path is back to exponential growth. As of the day of writing 37340 cases have been identified across the country, of which 16284 cases are still active.

  • Mapping Flood Hazard and Risk in a Vulnerable Terai Region
    Chapter 2 Mapping Flood Hazard and Risk in a Vulnerable Terai Region: The Ratu Watershed Planted land on the banks of the Ratu Khola illustrates the risks floods pose to agriculture. Introduction The extent of natural hazards, losses and damage caused by them, and vulnerability to them at national and district levels were discussed in Chapter One. There is evidence that losses caused by floods have been increasing in the country as a whole and that the Terai and Inner Terai regions are affected the most. Experience shows that the adverse impact of flood disasters can be reduced substantially if appropriate disaster-preparedness plans and mitigation measures are developed and implemented. This chapter deals with the mapping and zoning of flood hazard, risk, and vulnerability in the Ratu Watershed. Hazard, risk, and vulnerability mapping and zoning are effective tools in this respect and provide a basis for devising appropriate preparedness plans and mitigation measures. In this context Ratu watershed in the Terai Region, a region that has been frequently affected by floods, was selected for a case study in order to develop an appropriate methodology by focusing on the use of remote-sensing techniques and GIS tools for mapping flood hazards, risks, and vulnerability. Ratu is not a unique watershed, its biophysical and socioeconomic settings are more or less similar to those of other rivers originating from the Middle Mountains and Siwaliks and draining the Terai physiographic region, which is prone to flooding, throughout the country. Hence it is expected that the findings of this study will be applicable for the Terai region of Nepal and the adjacent plains of the HKH region as a whole, and useful for an attempting to reduce the risk of and vulnerability to flood disasters This study was carried out by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), Kathmandu, Nepal, with support from the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), New Delhi, India.
