The National Emergency Operations Centre has asked for health, food, shelter, WASH and logistics support in the most affected districts of Sindhupalanchok and Kavrepalanchowk. Led by the Resident Coordinator, cluster leads are currently reviewing contingency plans and stock piles. (source) ● Aug 4 - As of 4 Aug, 30 bodies had been recovered, but the final death toll could be around 165 or higher. (Source:) ● Aug 4 - People affected by the landslide have no food, water, or shelter. (Source) ● Aug 4 - According to the Nepal Red Cross Society, 460 persons are living in 5 shelters locally and there is need of ready to eat food. Also,there is demand of additional dead body bags. (Source) Highlights: ● Aug 3 - The massive landslide in Sindhupalchowk district on Saturday that caused an abrupt interruption in the flow of the Sunkoshi River has hit five hydropower projects downstream. ▪ According to Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), there will be shortfall of 66.5MW electricity in the national grid due to the landslide. ▪ Power transmission from five hydropower projects—Bhotekoshi (45MW), Sunkoshi (10MW), Sanima Sunkoshi (2.5MW), Chaku (6MW) and Bhairabkunda (3MW) has been halted temporarily. In the current situation, the shortfall of 66.5MW electricity means an increment in load-shedding by one and half hours a day. NEA said the landslide at Jure has swept away two gates of the Sunkoshi Power House headworks, according to NEA. ▪ While the power house of Bhote Koshi is safe, electricity supply has been interrupted due to the damage caused in three of its transmission line towers. One of the towers was completely swept away in the landslide, while the remaining two have been partially damaged. ▪ (source) ● Aug 4 - Authorities in India have evacuated 60,000 people in the northern state of Bihar amid fears of flash floods from Nepal, officials say. Water levels in the Kosi river, which begins in Nepal, have risen steeply. A landslide there on Saturday killed 19 and left scores missing. Officials say a huge amount of water has accumulated in a lake-like formation on the Nepal side.

  • Impact of Climatechangeon the Farm-Based Adaptive Strategies in Bhaktapurdistrict
    211 Impact of ClimateChangeon the Farm-based Adaptive Strategies in BhaktapurDistrict Suman Kumar Shrestha (Principal Author)* Shambhu Prasad Khatiwada, PhD (Corresponding Author)** Abstract This paper explores the impact of climate change on the farm-based adaptive strategies of the communities in Suryabinayak Municipality, Bhaktapur district. The mixed-method (QUAN-QUL) research design was applied to data collection, although, quantitative method is predominant. There were 107 households sampled purposively from Ward No. 5 and 9. Primary data were collected from field observation, personal interviews, focus group discussion (FGD), and Key informant survey (KIS) methods. Then these data have been analyzed through triangulation. Secondary data were collected from archives and e-resources. Individual experiences, perceptions and views have been analyzed from the Likert (1-5) scale and the Cronbach alpha was applied to the significant test. The findings showed that more than 65 percent of households said they received information on climate change from Radio, TV, and Newspapers. One of the Key persons stated that for almost two decades, cereal crop production is declining since the last two decades. In this regard, more than 72 percent of households reported that the temperature rise is the main reason for declining in yielding of cereal crops. It has followed by the frequent floods in the second (19.6%) and droughts in the least (8.4%). They seem to have adapted diversified livelihood strategies to mitigate the adverse conditions of climate change, such as vegetable farming, floriculture, mushroom farming, poultry, animal husbandry, and fishing according to their socioeconomic systems. However, their responses are varying across time and space based on the adaptive capacity of the local community.

This metropolitan valley has experienced a significant transformation of its landscapes in the last four decades resulting in substantial land use and land cover (LULC) change; however, no major systematic analysis of the urbanization trend and LULC has been conducted on this valley since 2000. When considering the importance of using LULC change as a window to study the broader changes in socio-ecological systems of this valley, our study first detected LULC change trajectories of this valley using four Landsat images of the year 1989, 1999, 2009, and 2016, and then analyzed the detected change in the light of a set of proximate causes and factors driving those changes. A pixel-based hybrid classification (unsupervised followed by supervised) approach was employed to classify these images into five LULC categories and analyze the LULC trajectories detected from them.

  • Medicinal Weeds in the Rice Field of Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
    Himalayan Biodiversity 6: 16-26, 2018Prithvi, Vol 6: , July 2013 ISSN :2382-5200 MEDICINAL WEEDS IN THE RICE FIELD OF KATHMANDU VALLEY, NEPAL Ram Sharan Dani1 and Achyut Tiwari2* 1Department of Botany, Tri-Chandra College, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu 2Central Department of Botany, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu *Corresponding email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Weed management in the crop field is one of the major challenges of agriculture. It has been reported that new weeds are encroaching crop fields due to anthropogenic activities such as the use of insecticides, pesticides and chemical fertilizer, and also due to climatic changes including warming temperatures, erratic and unseasonal precipitation, flood and landslides. The agricultural history of Kathmandu valley is quite old, which represents one of the highly productive valleys in of Nepal for agricultural crops including rice, indicating the long history of weeds in the region. There are quite a lot number of medicinally important plants found in rice field as weeds. Traditional practitioners are using these weeds in curing diseases as primary health care, and the utilization of weeds is the best method of weed management. The objective of this present study was to enumerate the weeds in and around paddy field and gather their medicinal properties of weeds among the local people of Kathmandu valley in order to assist with the weed management of paddy field. The periodic field survey was conducted in 9 selected sites, 3 from each district (Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur) during summer 2012-2014 (two times: crop matured seasons and just after harvesting). We found 104 weed species belonging to 36 families in the rice field of Kathmandu valley that have medicine values.
