National Water Plan (2002–2027) National Water Plan (2002–2027) His Majesty's Government of Nepal Water and Energy Commission Water and Energy Commission Secretariat Singh Durbar, Kathmandu, Nepal 2005 National Water Plan - Nepal Preface Water is one of the principal physical resources that can play a major role in enhancing the pace of overall development of a country. Sustainable development of water resources can significantly contribute to poverty alleviation and economic growth. Recognizing the need for comprehensive management and development of water resources for realizing optimal benefit, His Majesty’s Government of Nepal (HMGN) started formulating Water Resources Strategy (WRS) in 1996, and approved it in January 2002. The goal defined by the strategy is to improve the living standard of Nepalese people in a sustainable manner. In order to implement the activities identified by the WRS, the Water and Energy Commission Secretariat (WECS) started formulating National Water Plan (NWP) in 2002, which was approved by HMGN in September 2005. The NWP recognizes the broad objectives of the WRS and lays down short-, medium- and long-term action plans for the water resources sector, including investments and human resource development. The NWP attempts to address environmental concerns, which is reflected by the incorporation of the Environmental Management Plan in the document. This Environmental Management Plan will contribute to maximizing positive impact and minimizing or mitigating adverse impact in line with the environment sustainability concerns. A team of consultants, experts, academics, professionals and stakeholders related to the water resources sector contributed to preparing the NWP document. During the process, HMGN formed a core committee comprising representatives of various ministries, government departments, experts and academics to provide guidance to the task forces engaged in various sub-sectors. The NWP is expected to fulfil the aspirations of the Nepalese people in respect of the development of the water resources sector in the country. The Plan will be reviewed periodically to address the emerging development needs and the experience gained during the process of its implementation. Active support of bilateral and multilateral donors, government line agencies, non- governmental organizations, international non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders is expected for the successful implementation of the Plan. i National Water Plan - Nepal ii National Water Plan - Nepal Acknowledgement This National Water Plan (NWP) was prepared with the continuous guidance and valuable contributions of individual experts, government officials, peer reviewers and other eminent persons.

  • 0878 2 Neetu Choudhary
    Asia-Pacific Development Journal Vol. 21, No. 2, December 2014 INDO-NEPAL ECONOMIC COOPERATION: A SUBREGIONAL PERSPECTIVE Neetu Choudhary and Abhijit Ghosh* The present paper explores how a subregional engagement with bordering regions can stimulate economic cooperation among countries in the context of low levels of trade within the South Asian subregion. With special reference to shared historical legacy and culture-driven interaction — formal and informal — between Nepal and the state of Bihar in India, the paper develops a SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity and threat) framework to rationalize and reflect on the need for a subregional perspective towards promotion of regional cooperation. With complementary applications of secondary data and field research, it shows how irrespective of formal country-level initiatives, Nepal and Bihar have engaged in successful economic partnerships and argues that those existing nodes represent the potential for greater subregional and regional economic cooperation. The paper also offers insights into formal and informal challenges and policy imperatives associated with the operationalization of the new perspective. JEL Classification: F100, F140, F150, F420. Key words: Nepal, Bihar, informal, trade, subregional perspective, economic cooperation. * Neetu Choudhary (e-mail: [email protected]) and Abhijit Ghosh (e-mail: abhijitghosh [email protected]) are assistant professors of economics in the Division of Economics, A N Sinha Institute of Social Studies, Patna, Bihar, India. This paper is based on background research conducted by the A N Sinha Institute of Social Studies, Patna in partnership with the Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi. It incorporates inputs from deliberations of the Brainstorming Workshop on Indo-Nepal Economic Cooperation, organized by the A N Sinha Institute of Social Studies, Patna on 16 July 2014.

    IDRiM(2013)3(1) ISSN: 2185-8322 DOI10.5595/idrim.2013.0061 Journal of Integrated Disaster Risk Management Original paper Determination of Threshold Runoff for Flood Warning in Nepalese Rivers 1 2 Dilip Kumar Gautam and Khadananda Dulal Received: 05/02/2013 / Accepted: 08/04/2013 / Published online: 01/06/2013 Abstract The Southern Terai plain area of Nepal is exposed to recurring floods. The floods, landslides and avalanches in Nepal cause the loss of lives of about 300 people and damage to properties worth about 626 million NPR annually. Consequently, the overall development of the country has been adversely affected. The flood risk could be significantly reduced by developing effective operational flood early warning systems. Hence, a study has been conducted to assess flood danger levels and determine the threshold runoff at forecasting stations of six major rivers of Nepal for the purpose of developing threshold-stage based operational flood early warning system. Digital elevation model data from SRTM and ASTER supplemented with measured cross-section data and HEC-RAS model was used for multiple profile analysis and inundation mapping. Different inundation scenarios were generated for a range of flood discharge at upstream boundary and flood threshold levels or runoffs have been identified for each river, thus providing the basis for developing threshold-stage based flood early warning system in these rivers. Key Words Flood, danger level, threshold runoff, hydrodynamic model, geographic information system 1. INTRODUCTION Nepal's Terai region is the part of the Ganges River basin, which is one of the most disaster-prone regions in the world.
