  • Environmental Status of Manahara River, Kathmandu, Nepal
    Bulletin of the Department of Geology C Bulletin of the Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal, Vol. 10, 2007, pp. 21–32 e y n g t o ra l l eo De G partment of Kirtipur Environmental status of Manahara River, Kathmandu, Nepal *Ramita Bajracharya and Naresh Kazi Tamrakar Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal ABSTRACT The Manahara River located in northeast part of the Kathmandu Valley has been disturbed for last one decade by several anthropogenic activities and natural causes thereby deteriorating its recreational functions and stream habitat. To obtain an existing environmental condition and disturbances of the river, the river was surveyed for its habitat, pollution level and surface water quality. Among the five representative segments of the river, the downstream segment (Sano Thimi) was scored into intermediate category showing more pollution and environmental deterioration compared to the upstream segments. Turbidity, electrical conductivity, chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand and ammonia increase, whereas dissolved oxygen decreases from upstream to downstream with exponential functions. Aquatic lives like Garra sp. (Buduna), Schizothorax sp. (Asala), Channa sp. (Hiele) and Heteropneustes sp. (Singe) were observed except in downstream of the Jadibuti Bridge situated downstream from Sano Thimi stretch. Fish species were rare from the Jadibuti area most probably due to reduced dissoved oxygen (5 mg/l). Coliform bacteria ranged from 3000 to 4000 in the Manahara River showing high amount of bacterial contamination. Major disturbances, which affect river habitat and surface water quality of the Manahara River were destruction of riparian buffer zones, excavation excessive amount of sand from the river, encroachment of floodplains and bars, solid waste and sewer effluent, and tendency of landuse change.

  • A Case of a Traditional Settlement Sankhu
    Ecological approach to post disaster settlement planning: a case of a traditional settlement Sankhu Sangeeta Singh Associate Professor, Institute of Engineering [email protected] ABSTRACT The increasing trend of urbanization is one of the salient features of the twenty first century. With growing number of people residing in urban areas, the stresses on the ecological systems of the earth have been increasing and as a consequence climate change and its impacts are being realized on a global scale. Human settlement planning can no longer be carried out in isolation without considering the ecological consequences of the development efforts in the present context. The development approaches in the past seems to have undermined the fact that human beings are part of the ecological cycle and the planning initiatives focused mainly on physical, social and economic development. It is only recently that various planning initiatives have been propagated by planners such as eco city, sustainable city and so on to create cities in balance with nature and this paradigm shift in planning cities have gained a lot of significance. While planning ecologically sustainable cities is eminent for the survival of human species, it is equally important to plan settlements that are resilient to natural and manmade disasters especially in the disaster prone areas across the globe. In the context of Kathmandu valley it has been seen that most of the traditional settlements were planned in such a manner that the natural ecosystem is maintained to a great extent and this has been inculcated in the socio economic and cultural practices. The traditional settlements of the Valley especially Sankhu, Chapagaun, Kirtipur, Tokha, Khokana can be considered as good examples of settlements that are in balance with nature and are disaster resilient.

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.

FOREWORD The GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP) of the United Nations Development Programme in Nepal provides grants upto US$ 50,000 to community based organizations and non- governmental organizations to address global environmental problems while promoting the livelihoods of the poorest and vulnerable communities such as indigenous Chepangs in Makwanpur and nomadic Rautes in the mid-western hills. Since its inception in 1998, SGP has supported many small innovative projects ranging from transforming the forest killer weed Banmara into bio-briquettes to the production of marketable crochet knit bags, thanks to the introduction of solar home lighting systems, to vermin compost and bio- pesticide production. All of these initiatives also promote climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, such as the installation of over 6,200 Solar Tuki (lamp) in 22 districts which saves 223 kilo liters of kerosene which in turn saves emission of 350 tons of CO2 per year.
