  • Conservation of Water Heritage in Kathmandu Metropolitan City 1
    Conservation of Water Heritage in Kathmandu Metropolitan City Sujama Khadge, Sudarshan Raj Tiwari Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, IOE, Central Campus, Pulchowk, Tribhuvan University, Nepal Corresponding Email: [email protected] Abstract: Water sustains life on earth. Water was supplied in earlier times by understanding the natural topography and utilizing all natural materials, forms and features to develop a highly engineered water supply system which is evident in the traditional water supply system of the Kathmandu Valley. Not only the construction but also maintenance was forethought and responsibilities were given to the families, community and city level by intertwining the maintenance and public welfare into religious and cultural practices organized annually. The study focuses on the scenario of water heritage (ponds, hities or stonespouts and wells) and their linkages in the city core sector of Kathmandu Metropolitan City. The water heritage have served centuries of civilization and are still in operation. But, ignorance of the locals towards traditional water supply system due to modern household water supply has led to the defunct condition and loss of water heritage. Nevertheless, the conservation approaches has revived some of the water heritage and there is a possibility of conserving water heritages. The positive approaches, ground water recharge, source conservation and surface water management would add to the sustainability of water heritage and give the utilitarian value to the water heritages rather than a work of art and architecture. Keywords: Water heritage; conservation; ponds; hities; wells 1. Introduction at depression are the two terminologies normally used by the Newars for the stone spouts. [3] Water heritages of Kathmandu Metropolitan City are mainly stone water spouts, ponds and wells.

Received 10 September, 2020; Accepted 13 October, 2020 There is an emerging debate in the literature of urbanism that public open space is in crisis in the cities of developing countries due to the increasing trends of urbanization and in-migration. With the significant growth of the urban population and rapid expansion of the city, the land demand for housing and other infrastructure development is very high. The high rate of urbanization due to which encroachment, high speculation, use change, etc. are the major reasons for decreasing public open spaces. There are many inferences that public open spaces are decreasing in Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) as Tundikhel; an important public open space located in the heart of Kathmandu is decreasing in its size and has changed in its use over time. At present, KMC does not have a sizable public open space for emergency uses such as evacuation, relief, recovery, and reconstruction during the catastrophic hazards. Analysis of historical imagery and the changing patterns of land use reveal that the decreasing trends of open spaces may lead more vulnerable to the city as it does not have public open space for disaster management in an emergency need.

  • Revealing What Is Dear: the Post-Earthquake Iconisation of the Dharahara, Kathmandu Author: Michael Hutt, SOAS University Of
    This is the version of the article accepted for publication in Journal of Asian Studies published by Cambridge University Press: DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021911819000172. Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/30148 Revealing What is Dear: the post-earthquake iconisation of the Dharahara, Kathmandu Author: Michael Hutt, SOAS University of London Abstract On 25 April 2015 central Nepal was struck by a magnitude 7.8 earthquake which killed over 9000 people and displaced 2.8 million. The image of the Dharahara, a nineteenth century minaret which collapsed during the quake, quickly became for many Nepalis an iconic representation not only of the disaster but also of a national determination to recover and rebuild. Edward Simpson has argued that the aftermath of a disaster is ‘a product of the longer history of a locality’ and it is the aftermath ‘that may reveal what is dear’ (Simpson 2013: 53, 50). Drawing upon media and literary discourse in the Nepali language, this article asks why the Dharahara tower loomed so large in the Nepali imagination in the immediate aftermath of the April 2015 earthquake, rather than the country’s severely damaged World Heritage sites, and why it became a rallying point for a resurgence of Nepali hill nationalism. Keywords: Disasters, nationalism, heritage, Nepal, public memory, politics thado nak samasta kantipurko he ucchata kritrim! jyami lakh thiyau pavitra pasina he meghko ashram! seto stambha sukirtiko Dharahara! deu malai bida! he aglo prahari sari nagarko!

(2071/72 B.S.) FOREWORD igher Education Management Information System (H-EMIS) remains an important part for strengthening the capacity of higher education system. University Grants Commission has been pursuing the H-EMIS since 2007. HUGC has prepared and adopted a systematic framework for data collection. Managing data and publishing annual report is a regular activity of UGC. It is the eighth year of publication. Credible system of data/information management is one of the crucial activities for higher education reform and development. Since UGC initiated development and implementation of performance based public funding in higher education, it has become imperative to have the data reliable and verifiable. The government of Nepal has recently endorsed and started to implement the national higher education policy that has emphasized on its need for the development of better higher education management system (HEMIS). In addressing the needs, the Higher Education Reform Project (HERP 2015-2020), a national priority project for supporting implementation of the higher education policy aims to build a comprehensive and coordinated HEMIS extending from UGC to the universities and to their respective campuses that is open and accessible to all stakeholders including educational planers, researchers, critiques, faculties, and students.

  • Study of Ponds in Kathmandu Valley and Analysis of Their Present Situation
    Historical Journal Volume: 12 Number: 1 Shrawan, 2077 STUDY OF PONDS IN KATHMANDU VALLEY AND ANALYSIS OF THEIR PRESENT SITUATION Dr. Bikash Adhikari*1, Anmol Parajuli*2, Prakash Adhikari*3 ABSTRACT Ponds in Kathmandu were constructed to feed the sub surface aquifers of stone spouts and dug wells at all seasons. The study focuses on how the ponds have been saved, reduced in size or completely lost. The causes behind the degradation of ponds are forces of intervention and disturbances that lead to the loss of the originality, quality and quantity of ponds throughout its timeline. Out of eight existing ponds in the study area, 10 samples were taken from eight different ponds for quality assessment. The historical significances and status, uses as of 2019 are tabulated based on field survey. The paper focuses on the study of pH, Total Solids, Electrical Conductivity, Ammonia, Nitrate, Phosphate, Ammonia, Dissolved Oxygen, Biological Oxygen Demand, Total Organic Matter, Chlorophyll, E. Coli, and dimensions of existing ponds. The physical, social stresses and lack of regular inspection of ponds have contributed to their degradation. However, the existing ponds require sustainable management. Proper safeguarding mechanism should be developed for the regular aeration of water in the ponds such as fountains so that the ponds have more dissolved oxygen eliminating faulty smell and control fish death. Keywords: aquifers, water quality assessment, E. coli, degradation, aeration. Introduction Ponds are extraordinary artifacts that provide unique values and purposes. Ponds in Kathmandu Valley lie inside or outside settlements that are sources of surface water and are used for domestic purposes, irrigation, running water mills and even for dumping sewerage and garbage(Antony and G., 1985).
