  • Development of Smart Boulders to Monitor Mass Movements Via the Internet of Things: a Pilot Study in Nepal Abstract

Development of smart boulders to monitor mass movements via the Internet of Things: A pilot study in Nepal Benedetta Dini1, Georgina L. Bennett2, Aldina M. A. Franco1, Michael R. Z. Whitworth3, Kristen L. Cook4, Andreas Senn5, John M. Reynolds6 1 School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, UK; 2College of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Exeter, UK; 3AECOM, UK; 4GFZ-Potsdam, Germany; 5Miromico AG, Zurich, Switzerland; 6Reynolds International Ltd, UK 1 Abstract 2 Boulder movement can be observed not only in rock fall activity, but also in association with other 3 landslide types such as rock slides, soil slides in colluvium originated from previous rock slides and 4 debris flows. Large boulders pose a direct threat to life and key infrastructure, amplifying landslide 5 and flood hazards, as they move from the slopes to the river network. Despite the hazard they pose, 6 boulders have not been directly targeted as a mean to detect landslide movement or used in dedicated 7 early warning systems. We use an innovative monitoring system to observe boulder movement 8 occurring in different geomorphological settings, before reaching the river system. Our study focuses 9 on an area in the upper Bhote Koshi catchment northeast of Kathmandu, where the Araniko highway 10 is subjected to periodic landsliding and floods during the monsoons and was heavily affected by 11 coseismic landslides during the 2015 Gorkha earthquake. In the area, damage by boulders to 12 properties, roads and other key infrastructure, such as hydropower plants, is observed every year.

The Team likes to thank Nepal Engineers Association and its President Dhruba Raj Thapa for giving us the opportunity to work in such a prestigious assignment. Special thanks are to the Ministry of Home Affairs in general and the Joint Secretary Yadav Koirala in particular who not only invited us to the meeting held in Singha Durbar to appraise with the prevailing situations but also for provided permission to visit the site. The Chief District Officer of Sindhupalchowk district Mr. Gopal Parajuli also deserves very many thanks in this regard. We also like to thank Prof. Dr. Durga Prasad Sangroula and Mr. Hari Shanker Shrestha for providing with some very important information. Furthermore, the Team extends its heartiest thanks to the Ministry of Home Affairs for providing permission to visit the site. The Team thanks in particular the Nepal Army and especially its Pilot Mr. Subarna Bista for airlifting some of the Team members to Kathmandu from the site after the heavy rainfall had made access to downstream impossible.

  • Life in the Shadow of Embankments – Turning Lost Lands Into Assets in the Koshi Basin of Bihar, India Executive Summary
    Life in the Shadow of Embankments – Turning Lost Lands into Assets in the Koshi Basin of Bihar, India Executive summary The central objective of the research project ‘Documenting and Assessing Adaptation Strategies to Too Much, Too Little Water’ is to document adaptation strategies at local or community level to constraints and hazards related to water and induced by climate change in the Himalayan region, including how people are affected by water stress and hazards, their local short and long-term responses, and the extent to which these strategies reduce vulnerability to water stress and hazards. Five case studies were carried out in four countries. The results of each have been summarised in separate documents on a CD-ROM to accompany a single synthesis document. The India case study presented here, documents and assesses how people in the Koshi basin, Bihar, India, respond to water stress and hazards in the context of climate variability and change. The Koshi is known for its frequently shifting courses and the devastation that it has caused in the past. Conventional flood-control measures have not only altered the agroecology of the Koshi basin, they have also increased the frequency and intensity of water-related stress and hazards throughout its basin. Flood-prone and waterlogged areas have increased, and erosion and sand casting have temporarily or permanently rendered vast areas of land uncultivable, leading to an increase in landlessness and distress among the local community. Five villages were selected on the basis of their location in the Koshi basin in order to have a representative sample of sites.

  • Hydropower Development in Nepal - Climate Change, Impacts and Implications 77 Landslide, Sedimentation, and Flooding
    ProvisionalChapter chapter 5 Hydropower Development inin NepalNepal -- ClimateClimate Change,Change, Impacts and Implications Impacts and Implications Ramesh Prasad Bhatt Ramesh Prasad Bhatt Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/66253 Abstract Nepal has endowed high potential of water resources, covering 395,000 ha (48%) area within 45,000 km in length of 6000 rivers with 170 billion m3 annual runoff and 45,610 MW feasible hydroelectricity generation. Since 1911, 500 kW power generation at Pharping, now reached 782.45 MW production in 2016. Nepal government has planned to increase its current 67.3% access in electricity to 1426 MW (87%), by 2022. Globally, 16.6% generation of hydroelectricity, 1,079 GW production, in 2015 will be increased to 1,473 GW by 2040 as projected. Although, hydropower is considered as a renewable clean energy, dam closure, influence within the downstream river and connected ecosystems have consequent impacts on hydropower production. Nepal’s topography offered more RoR types of hydropower and has more risk of landslide, flooding, GLOFs, LDOFs, and flash floods. Despite, Nepal contributes 0.027% of total global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions; Nepal has focused on renewable energy, hydropower production, targeting 12000 MW by 2030 to fulfill its growing demand of 11,500 MW. Consequent development of clean energy, GHG reduction, single Bhotekoshi hydropower can reduce 160092 tons CO2/year. The energy-related CO2 emissions increased 43.2 billion metric tons by 2040 globally, which can be reduced through promotion of clean energy.
