  • Environmental Status of Manahara River, Kathmandu, Nepal
    Bulletin of the Department of Geology C Bulletin of the Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal, Vol. 10, 2007, pp. 21–32 e y n g t o ra l l eo De G partment of Kirtipur Environmental status of Manahara River, Kathmandu, Nepal *Ramita Bajracharya and Naresh Kazi Tamrakar Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal ABSTRACT The Manahara River located in northeast part of the Kathmandu Valley has been disturbed for last one decade by several anthropogenic activities and natural causes thereby deteriorating its recreational functions and stream habitat. To obtain an existing environmental condition and disturbances of the river, the river was surveyed for its habitat, pollution level and surface water quality. Among the five representative segments of the river, the downstream segment (Sano Thimi) was scored into intermediate category showing more pollution and environmental deterioration compared to the upstream segments. Turbidity, electrical conductivity, chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand and ammonia increase, whereas dissolved oxygen decreases from upstream to downstream with exponential functions. Aquatic lives like Garra sp. (Buduna), Schizothorax sp. (Asala), Channa sp. (Hiele) and Heteropneustes sp. (Singe) were observed except in downstream of the Jadibuti Bridge situated downstream from Sano Thimi stretch. Fish species were rare from the Jadibuti area most probably due to reduced dissoved oxygen (5 mg/l). Coliform bacteria ranged from 3000 to 4000 in the Manahara River showing high amount of bacterial contamination. Major disturbances, which affect river habitat and surface water quality of the Manahara River were destruction of riparian buffer zones, excavation excessive amount of sand from the river, encroachment of floodplains and bars, solid waste and sewer effluent, and tendency of landuse change.

  • Vegetation and Climate Around 780 Kyrs BP in Northern Kathmandu Valley, Central Nepal
    Bulletin of Department of Geology, TribhuvanVegetation University, and climate Kathmandu, around 780 Nepal, kyrs BP vol. in 20-21, northern 2018, Kathmandu pp. 37-48. valley, central Nepal Vegetation and climate around 780 kyrs BP in northern Kathmandu valley, central Nepal *Sima Humagain and Khum N. Paudayal Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal ABSTRACT Palynological study from the Dharmasthali Formation exposed in the northern part of Kathmandu valley revealed the composition of forest vegetation that were growing in middle Pleistocene (780 kyrs BP) in this area. In a total fifteen samples were collected from the 46 m exposed section for the palynological study. The profile can be divided into two zones on the basis of pollen assemblages. The lower part (DF-I) is dominated by Pteridophyte spores such as Lygodium, Polypodium, Cyathea and Pteris. The dominance of Pteridophytes indicate that the forest floor was moist and humid. The tree pollen consists of Abies, Pinus, Quercus, Podocarpus and Alnus. Other Gymnosperms such as Picea and Tsuga were represented by very low percentage. Poaceae and Cyperaceae show their strong presence indicating grassland and wetland conditions around the depositional basin. In the upper zone (DF-II) there is increase of Gymnosperms such as Picea and Abies. The subtropical Gymnosperm Podocarpus decreased while Tsuga completely became absent in this zone. Cold climate preferring trees such as Cedrus, Betula, Juglans and Ulmus appeared first time in this zone. The climate became even colder and drier in the upper part of the section. Near water plants such as Cyperaceae and Typha show their dominance in this zone.

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.

  • A Case of a Traditional Settlement Sankhu
    Ecological approach to post disaster settlement planning: a case of a traditional settlement Sankhu Sangeeta Singh Associate Professor, Institute of Engineering [email protected] ABSTRACT The increasing trend of urbanization is one of the salient features of the twenty first century. With growing number of people residing in urban areas, the stresses on the ecological systems of the earth have been increasing and as a consequence climate change and its impacts are being realized on a global scale. Human settlement planning can no longer be carried out in isolation without considering the ecological consequences of the development efforts in the present context. The development approaches in the past seems to have undermined the fact that human beings are part of the ecological cycle and the planning initiatives focused mainly on physical, social and economic development. It is only recently that various planning initiatives have been propagated by planners such as eco city, sustainable city and so on to create cities in balance with nature and this paradigm shift in planning cities have gained a lot of significance. While planning ecologically sustainable cities is eminent for the survival of human species, it is equally important to plan settlements that are resilient to natural and manmade disasters especially in the disaster prone areas across the globe. In the context of Kathmandu valley it has been seen that most of the traditional settlements were planned in such a manner that the natural ecosystem is maintained to a great extent and this has been inculcated in the socio economic and cultural practices. The traditional settlements of the Valley especially Sankhu, Chapagaun, Kirtipur, Tokha, Khokana can be considered as good examples of settlements that are in balance with nature and are disaster resilient.

  • National Population and Housing Census 2011 (National Report)
    Volume 01, NPHC 2011 National Population and Housing Census 2011 (National Report) Government of Nepal National Planning Commission Secretariat Central Bureau of Statistics Kathmandu, Nepal November, 2012 Acknowledgement National Population and Housing Census 2011 (NPHC2011) marks hundred years in the history of population census in Nepal. Nepal has been conducting population censuses almost decennially and the census 2011 is the eleventh one. It is a great pleasure for the government of Nepal to successfully conduct the census amid political transition. The census 2011 has been historical event in many ways. It has successfully applied an ambitious questionnaire through which numerous demographic, social and economic information have been collected. Census workforce has been ever more inclusive with more than forty percent female interviewers, caste/ethnicities and backward classes being participated in the census process. Most financial resources and expertise used for the census were national. Nevertheless, important catalytic inputs were provided by UNFPA, UNWOMEN, UNDP, DANIDA, US Census Bureau etc. The census 2011 has once again proved that Nepal has capacity to undertake such a huge statistical operation with quality. The professional competency of the staff of the CBS has been remarkable. On this occasion, I would like to congratulate Central Bureau of Statistics and the CBS team led by Mr.Uttam Narayan Malla, Director General of the Bureau. On behalf of the Secretariat, I would like to thank the Steering Committee of the National Population and Housing census 2011 headed by Honorable Vice-Chair of the National Planning commission. Also, thanks are due to the Members of various technical committees, working groups and consultants.

  • Learning from the Challenges of the Melamchi Water Supply in Kathmandu
    ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK INSTITUTE ADBI Development Case Study No. - (December) Learning from the Challenges of the Melamchi Water Supply in Kathmandu Ritu Poudyal © 2019 Asian Development Bank Institute This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Photo by Gaurab Pant International License. Learning from the Challenges of the Melamchi Water Supply in Kathmandu Ritu Poudyal Ritu Poudyal holds a master’s degree in public policy from the University of Tokyo. In Maitidevi, Kathmandu, residents rise every day at 3 a.m. to the shrill ring of their alarm clocks. The first order of their day is to rush out of their homes to check for an inflow of water and then turn on their squirrel-cage induction motors to boost the water flow. They need to quickly collect water into water tanks before their neighbors turn on their motors, which would decrease the flow. Pramila Sharma lives in Maitidevi with her family.
