The project completed a total of 21 bridges, 2 trails and 10 drinking water schemes covering several Karnali Zone districts. In Humla, work on trails, 7 bridges, and several drinking water projects were completed. On the Simikot - Hilsa trail a suspension bridge crossing the Karnali River at Yalbang and a section of trail called ‘Salli-Salla’ were constructed. 1993 – September 1999 The Karnali Local Development Programme was run to further develop infrastructural improvements and to integrate these with social development by building capacity at community and local NGO levels. The district level activities included • District Development Committee (DDC) (i.e. local government) capacity building in participatory planning; • Improvement of intra-district infrastructure; and • Support of NGOs committed to work in the Karnali Zone.

  • Groundwater Research in NEPAL for Tiger Conservation
    GROUNDWATER RESEARCH IN NEPAL FOR TIGER CONSERVATION A reconnaissance study to groundwater dynamics in an alluvial mega-fan in Bardiya National Park (Terai), focusing on the interaction between groundwater and the Karnali river. Author: Hanne. Berghuis. MSc. Thesis. Program: Earth, Surface and Water at Utrecht University. 1st Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Jasper Griffioen. 2nd Supervisor: Dr. Derek Karssenberg. Date: 28-06-2019. Student No.: 6190987. Contact: [email protected]. Photo credits: Esther Leystra (2019). Nepal: Bardiya National Park. Acknowledgement I’d like to thank my supervisor Jasper Griffioen for the opportunity to hydrologically explore Bardiya. His enthusiasm for the project was inspiring and his close involvement was very motivating. My friend Ewa van Kooten introduced me to this project. Together we travelled to Nepal for three months. Thanks to her I enjoyed every single day of our time in Bardiya. She often came up with new ideas for field measurements, creative ways to fabricate field equipment or interpretations for unexpected observations. I am grateful for the Himalayan Tiger Foundation (HTF), who took the initial initiative for hydrological research in Bardiya. I very much appreciate their efforts for the conservation of the wild tiger. During the meetings in the Netherlands and around the campfire in Bardiya with the members and co of HTF, I have learned and laughed a lot. Moreover, I like to thank them for getting us in touch with the National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC). The staff of NTNC heartily welcomed us in Bardiya and at their office. They made us feel like a part of the NTNC-family by letting us join their festivals, dinners and campfires.
