Assessment of Hydropower Potential Using SWAT Modeling and Spatial Technology in the Seti Gandaki River, Kaski, Nepal
IEEE-SEM, Volume 8, Issue 7, July-2020 87 ISSN 2320-9151 Assessment of Hydropower Potential using SWAT modeling and Spatial Technology in the Seti Gandaki River, Kaski, Nepal Nisha Pokharel1, Keshav Basnet2,*, Bikash Sherchan3, Divakar Thapaliya4 1MS Student, Infrastructure Engineering and Management Program, Department of Civil and Geomatics Engineering, Pashchimanchal Campus, Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University, Pokhara, Nepal; E-mail: [email protected]. 2MSc Coordinator, Infrastructure Engineering and Management Program, Department of Civil and Geomatics Engineering, Pashchimanchal Campus, Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University, Pokhara, Nepal; (*Corresponding author); E-mail: [email protected], ORCID 0000-0001- 8145-9654. 3Assistant Professor, Department of Civil and Geomatics Engineering, Pashchimanchal Campus, Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University, Pokhara, Nepal; E-mail: [email protected]. 4ME Student, Water Engineering and Management, Department of Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology, Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand; E-mail: [email protected]. 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. -

Conservation and the linpact of Relocation on the Tharus of Chitwan, Nepal Joanne McLean Charles Sturt University (Australia) Since the establishment of the first national park in the United States in the nineteenth century, indig enous peoples have been forced to move from regions designated as parks. Some of these people have been relocated to other areas by the government, more often they have been told to leave the area and are given no alternatives (Clay, 1985:2). Introduction (Guneratne 1994; Skar 1999). The Thant are often de scribed as one people. However, many subgroups exist: The relocation of indigenous people from national Kochjla Tharu in the eastern Tarai, Chitwaniya and Desauri parks has become standard practice in developing coun in the central Tarai, and Kathariya, Dangaura and Rana tries with little regard for the impacts it imposes on a Tharu in the western Tarai (Meyer & Deuel, 1999). -
Anthropogenic Impacts on Flora Biodiversity in the Forests and Common Land of Chitwan, Nepal
Anthropogenic impacts on flora biodiversity in the forests and common land of Chitwan, Nepal by Ganesh P.

We wish to thank William Axinn (PI on these grants), Dirgha Ghimire and the staff at the Population and Ecology Research Laboratory (PERL), IAAS, Nepal who helped collect the flora and common land data. Population growth and deforestation are serious problems in Chitwan and throughout Nepal. In this paper we explore the effect of social and demographic driving forces on flora diversity in Nepal. Specifically, we focus our attention on the flora diversity in three forested areas surrounding a recently deforested, settled and cultivated rural area - the Chitwan District. We have collected detailed counts of trees, shrubs, and grasses along the edge and in the interior of each forested area, and for common land throughout the settled area. Our sampling frame (described in the paper) allows us to construct detailed ordination and classification measures of forest floral diversity. Using techniques from quantitative ecology we can quantify species diversity (relative density, frequency and abundancy), and specifically measure the 'evenness' and 'richness' of the flora in the forested areas and common land. -

A Case of Gaindakot As Fringe of Bharatpur Metropolitan City)
Proceedings of 8th IOE Graduate Conference Peer Reviewed ISSN: 2350-8914 (Online), 2350-8906 (Print) Year: 2020 Month: June Volume: 8 Impacts of Urbanization on Land Use in Urban Fringe (A case of Gaindakot as fringe of Bharatpur Metropolitan City) Seema Pandey a, Ajay Chandra Lal b a, b Department of Architecture, Pulchowk Campus, IOE, TU, Nepal Corresponding Email: a [email protected], b [email protected] Abstract The urban fringe areas go through lots of transformations due to urbanisation but lack of proper planning and policies in such fringe areas leads to haphazard and unplanned growth, placing enormous pressures on natural resources, existing services and infrastructures. Bharatpur Metropolitan City is one of the fastest growing cities in Nepal which serves as commercial centre of Chitwan district. The city has been growing bigger and it will have its impacts on its fringe areas. Since migration rate is increasing in Bharatpur, this is likely to spread urban sprawl in adjoining areas, Gaindakot municipality being one of them.This paper uses multiple theoretical framework and qualitative research approach to find out the effects of urbanization on various aspects and the patterns of land use changes in Gaindakot with the increasing urbanisation over the years. Managing rapid urbanization poses challenges that require urgent policy attention. Otherwise, this may lead to rapid and uncontrolled sprawl; irregular, substandard, and inaccessible housing development; loss of open space, and decreased livability as in Kathmandu valley due to unplanned urban development. Keywords Urbanization, Urban fringe, Urban sprawl, Land use, Gaindakot (Nepal) 1. Background [5,6]. Nepalese cities have been urbanizing haphazardly. -
A Study Report of Narayani River Course, Central Nepal, 2007
CHAPTER - I A STUDY REPORT OF NARAYANI RIVER COURSE, CENTRAL NEPAL, 2007 1.1. Background Flood is the natural phenomena that losses more property and human life in Nepal. The precipitation is highly concentrated in the monsoon season in Nepal. About 75 percent precipitation occurs in monsoon (June-September). 1 The flood phenomenon is common in the rainy season. Due to the high concentration of monsoon, high relief, steep mountain topography and deep and narrow river valleys with frequent mass wasting phenomena renders the country more hazardous and losses more property and human life annually. Every year about Rs. 748.95 million has been lost due to water Indus disaster in Nepal.2 The overall development of the country has been severely affected by repeated flooding. In the context of recent global warming phenomena, a consequent increase in the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the dynamic of glacial lakes in high mountain areas, the probability and potentially damaging of flood is likely to increase. In the past or before eradication of malaria in Terai, Dun and low land were prone of malaria. So the people lived in the low land in winter and shifted to the high land during the summer. This seasonal migration caused the flood hazard seemed not so destructive. After the eradication of malaria people, started to live in the Terai permanently. So the infrastructure in the recent past has increased the exposure of these areas to flood hazards. This happened after 1956. After the malaria eradication the investment to infrastructure development from the government side has been tremendously increased. -

A Yellow-Throated Marten Martes Flavigula Carrying a Small Indian Civet Viverricula Indica
A Yellow-throated Marten Martes flavigula carrying a Small Indian Civet Viverricula indica Babu Ram LAMICHHANE1*, Chiranjibi Prasad POKHERAL1, Ambika Prasad KHATIWADA1, Rama MISHRA2 and Naresh SUBEDI1 Abstract Yellow-throated Marten Martes flavigula has a wide geographic distribution, but little is known about its ecology and behaviour. A camera-trap survey in and around Chitwan National Park, Nepal, photographed a solitary Marten carrying a Small Indian Civet Viverricula indica. The animal was in a grassland patch amid Sal Shorea robusta forest. It is unclear whether the Marten killed the Civet. Recent camera-trap surveys suggest that Yellow-throated Marten is widespread in Chitwan NP with records from altitudes of 190–675 m; many records are from Sal forest.
