Natural Resources Area and Phyical Features 1. The Kingdom of Nepal is rectangular shaped, with an area of some 141,000 km2 . Completely landlocked, it is wedged between Tibet to the North, and India to the South. The physical and ecological features play an eminent role in determining the way of life in Nepal. The topo- graphy is the most varied of any nation. Nepal is roughly 850 km (530 miles) long from east to west, and 180 km (110 miles) wide. From the plains and lowlands of the south, about 50 km above sea level, the ter- rain rises in 160 km to the dramatic heights of the world's highest moun- tain, Mount Everest, at 8,850 m. 2. Geographically, the country is divided into three roughly parallel strips, each running generally east and west. The southernmost strip (about 25 km wide) is the Terai, covering about 17% of total area. An extension of the Gangetic plain of North India, it consists of generally flat, open coun- try blending into forested hills, and is noted for its heavy jungles and big game including tigers, rhinoceros, elephants, wild boars and crocodiles. The northernmost strip is about 35 km wide consisting of the great Himalayan Range (4,500 m - 8,850 m) with its perpetually snow-covered panorama. The region is about 35 km wide, and accounts for about 15% of the total land area. The central strip or the Hills is about 100 km wide, with elevations from 250 m - 3,000 m, covering 68% of the land area. 3. The Hills _/ essentially consists of two ranges: (a) The Churia Range; and (b) The Mahabharat Range. 4. The Churia Range consists of narrow steep ridges (The Churia Ridge or the Siwalik Hills) at its southern edge, and large valleys north of it. The Churia Ridge (Map 10908) extends east to west at an average height of 2,510 (760 m) and merges into the Indian border through its extensions at Dang (the Dundwa Range) and at Chitwan (the Someswar Range), conveniently dividing the Terai into three parts (Map 10906): (a) Eastern Terai (East of Chitwan); (b) Mid-Western Terai (between Chitwan and Dang Deokhuri); (c) Far-Western Terai (West of Dang Deokhuri). The Mahabharat Range merges closely into the Churia Range north of Far-Western Terai, Mid-Western Terai and the far-eastern third of Eastern Terai. 1/ See Maps 10906 and 10908, General Report. ANNEX 1 Page 2 5. The gap between the Churia Ridge and Mahabharat Range is the greatest in the Inner Terai districts where large river valleys (called duns) of the Churia Range are found. 1/ Although the Inner Terai may be considered as part of the hills, its valleys are agriculturally similar to the Terai. 6. The transition from the Mahabharat Range to the great Himalayan Range is not so obvious, but most of the Mahabharat is below 3,300 m (the upper limit for successful grain farming). The Hills can therefore be divided into (a) the Lower Hills (less 3,300 m) and (b) the Upper Hills or Mountains (Upper Mahabharat and Great Himalayas). 2/ Climatic Regions and Agricultural Location 7. Table 1 illustrates the effects of climate 3/ and topography on the distribution of crops in each region. The humid subtropical climatic zone (encomposing mainly the Terai and Inner Terai) reaches approximately

    Get to Know Exotic Fiber!

    Get to know Exotic Fiber! In this article we will go over how camel, alpaca, yak and vicuna fiber is made into yarn. As we have all been learning, we can make fiber out of just about anything. These exotic fibers range from great everyday items to once in a lifetime chance to even see. In this article we will touch on camel, alpaca, yak and vicuna fiber. Camelids refers to the biological family that contain camels, alpacas and vicunas. In general, camelids are two-toed, longer necked, herbivores that have adapted to match their environment. Yaks are part of the bovidae family which also contain cattle, sheep, goats, antelopes and several other species. Yaks can get up to 7 feet tall and weight upwards of 1,300 pounds. Domesticated yaks are considerably smaller. Lets start with Camels! The Bactrian Camel, which produces the finest fiber, are commonly found in Mongolia. They can live up to 50 years and be over 7 feet tall at the hump. These two-humped herbivores hair is mainly imported from Mongolia. In ancient times, China, Iraq, and Afghanistan were some of the first countries to utilize camel fiber. Bactrian Camels are double coated to withstand both high mountain winters and summers in the desert sand. The coarse guard hairs can be paired with sheep wool, while the undercoat is very soft and a great insulator. Every spring Bactrian Camels naturally shed their winter coats, making it easier to turn into yarn. Back when camel caravans were the main form of transportation of people and goods, a "trailer" was a person that followed behind the caravan collecting the fibers.

Primary waves travel to and fro in the line of propaGation and travel only in liquid medium 2. Secondary waves travel perpendicular to the line of propagation and they travel both in solid and liquid medium. Which amongst the above statements is /are correct? a) 1 only b) 2 only c) Both 1 and 2 d) Neither 1 nor 2 Q.1) Solution (d) Basic InFormation: • Seismic waves are waves of enerGy that travel throuGh the Earth's layers, and are a result of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, maGma movement, larGe landslides and larGe man-made explosions that Give out low-frequency acoustic energy. • The place of occurrence of an earthquake is called ‘focus’ and the place which experiences the seismic event first is called ‘epicenter’. • Epicenter is located on the earth’s surface and focus is always inside the earth. • The propaGation velocity of seismic waves depends on density and elasticity of the medium as well as the type of wave. Velocity tends to increase with depth throuGh Earth's crust and mantle, but drops sharply GoinG from the mantle to the outer core. • Seismic waves are Generally divided into 1. Primary waves, 2. Secondary waves and 3. Surface waves. Primary waves: • They are called lonGitudinal waves or compressional waves and are analoGous to sound waves where particles move to and fro in the line of propaGation. • They travel both in solid and liquid medium.

In the present days the villagers own a job with stable income. Young men now have the option of not leaving their home so as to seek jobs elsewhere. It provides for the Tibetan family a way to transfer from being nomads to the modern life and to earn happiness and respect with their own hands. Norlha has also taken positive influence on the ecological environment of the local prairie. Introduction As the Tibetan Plateau has been suffering from the ecological crises resulting from overgrazing, such as pasture degradation, soil degradation, etc, Norlha is Home to 1500 nomads, 6000 yaks and 30 000 sheep, Ritoma is a small village helping improve the situation through buying from Tibetans the yak khullu and sitting on the Tibetan Plateau over 3000 meters above sea level.

ABSTRACT Very fine and soft down fibers of native goats can have a potential as a valuable raw-material source ARTICLE HISTORY for high-quality products. Therefore, down fibers were collected from native goats raised in different Received: 23.05.2018 regions of Turkey, then their physical properties were analyzed and results were compared with Accepted: 21.12.2018 cashmere fibers. Along with fiber diameter and fiber length, which are the most important parameters regarding spinnability of a textile fiber, fiber scale characteristics of Anatolian native goat down fibers were reported for the first time. In this respect, scale pattern, mean scale density, cuticle scale height, curvature, visual fiber crimp were analyzed as well as fiber tenacity and breaking elongation properties. The economical potential of these fibers in Turkey were also investigated. The findings of this work showed that average fiber fineness changed between 14-19 µm while the single fiber length varied as 33.0–61.0 mm. The mean scale density and cuticle scale height were between 6-7 scales/100 µm and 0.41-0.55 µm, respectively while the visual crimp frequency was 5-6 crimps/cm.

    The present comprehensive study is a joint research study by ICHARM/PWRI and NDRI, Nepal aimed at investigating the root causes of flood disasters in West Rapti river basin in Nepal and devising strategy to manage flood with community-based approach by targeting improvement in the resilience of the community within the broader framework of enhancing livelihood options and poverty alleviation. This phase i.e. first phase of the study has focused on the investigation of socio-economic impact of flood in the lower part of the basin. It has been found that the anthropogenic factors like construction of poorly designed infrastructures, river training works on an ad-hoc basis, and control of river flow through construction of barrage, levees etc are the culprits for the increasing flood extent in the study area. As a consequence, huge amount of agricultural land has been damaged due to the deposition of sand and bank cutting. This leads to affect greatly the livelihood of local people, who are based on agriculture. The nexus between poverty and the increased flood risk in the study area is clearly seen. Currently, local people are using their beliefs, local knowledge and practices for forecasting of heavy storms, early warning and emergency management; however the efficiency of traditional flood management practices is now being questioned especially in changing environment. It is important to develop the current level of awareness while enhancing traditionally accepted system. This is possible by integrating scientific knowledge in to the existing system with consensus and understandings by local people as well as other stakeholders.
