L. Das Ph. D* E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present study was assess the vascular flora of the Birendra M. Campus, Chitwan, Nepal in various seasons. The campus area had many wild and cultivated plants which were disturbed by cattle grazing over exploitation and uses of herbicides. 115 plant species belonging to 51 families were reported from the campus premises. There were 66 species were cultivated and numbers of wild species were 49. There were 63 herbs 18 shrubs 23 trees and 8 climbers. 48 annual, 2 biennial and 65 perennial plants were reported. Key word: Species, flora, families, wild, cultivated, annual perennial Introduction: Birendra multiple campus is a leading institute in the Nepal to invest for trained skilled manpower for future. (Das, 2017). This college is located in the tropical zone of inner Terai region of Nepal. Geographically, campus is situated in nearly central part of Nepal lies between Chure and Mahabharat range in Chitwan and 415 meter in altitude. The Chitwan is located between latitude of 83o 55' w to 84o 48' and longitude 27o 21'' to 27o 46'' N. 'The vegetation of Chitwan is described in relation to its bio-chimatic zones, edaphic factors, topographic factors and catastrophic factor (Dangol, 2008) Birendra multiple Campus has a lot of floral diversity having wild plants, (Das, 2015). Most of the plants have medicinal value. (Dangol, 2008. Plants are epiphytes and hydrophytes, xerophytes and mesophyte. Birendra Multiple Campus has always play a pivotal role for the betterment of environment along with the intention to guide the researchers in our future projects. (Das, 2017) The present paper deals with the enumeration habitat, habit and families of available flora in various seasons Material and methods The flora of Birendra Campus area was carefully enumerated in summer, rainy and winter seasons. The current study is based on primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected from field study direct observation, informal discussion and secondary data were collected from relevant literature and different website.

  • Assessment of Hydropower Potential Using SWAT Modeling and Spatial Technology in the Seti Gandaki River, Kaski, Nepal

ABSTRACT The surprising difference in elevation present within a small width, no doubt gives enough head for hydropower generation in most of the rivers of Nepal. The hydropower potential of any river can be assessed by realistic, up to date and useful information from recent advances in remote sensing, geographic information system and hydrological modelling [1]. This research aims for the assessment of the RoR hydropow- er potential using spatial technology and SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) modeling in Seti Gandaki River, Kaski, Nepal. The DEM, daily precipitation, minimum and maximum temperature data, discharge records, land use and soil data were used for the SWAT model setup 2 and simulation. The model was calibrated (2000-2010) and validated (2011-2015) with model performance of 0.85 R , 0.85 ENS and 2.19 % PBAIS.

Although a few studies are reported as food and medicinal values of different animals, a comprehensive ethno-medicinal study of vertebrates in Nepal is still lacking. Thus, present study is aimed to document the ethno-medicinal knowledge related to vertebrate fauna among different ethnic communities in Chitwan-Annapurna Landscape, central Nepal. Methods: Ethno-medicinal information collected by using semi-structured questionnaires, focus group discussion and key informant interview. The data were analyzed by applying Use Value (UV), Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) and Fidelity level (FL). Results: The study reported a total of 58 species of vertebrates of which 53 were wild and 5 as domestic. They were used to treat 62 different types human ailments.
