BACKGROUND The Melamchi Water Supply Project (MWSP) is considered to be the most viable long-term alternative to ease the chronic water shortage situation within the Kathmandu valley. The project is designed to divert about 170 MLD of fresh water to Kathmandu Valley from the Melamchi River in Sindhupalchowk district in the first phase. Augmenting this supply by adding about a further 170 MLD each from the Yangri and Larke rivers, which lie in the upstream proximity of Melamchi is also being investigated as further supply sources. Hyolmo Sindhu Melamchi Valley Social Upliftment Program Implementation Committee (HSMVSUPIC) has been constituted for the implementation of Social Upliftment Program (SUP).

  • Study on Kodari Scheme of Rikaze-Kathmandu Railway

It is the shortest route for Rikaze-Kathmandu railway to go through Zhangmu port. By primary analysis, the feasible route should extend from the current Rikaze railway station, going through Qumei county, entering into the current G318 highway belt, then going through Jiding, Liuxiang and Resa, arriving Lazi. The route extends from Lazi, then goes through Jiacuola mountain by tunnel with 45km length, going through Jiacuo county and arriving Dingri. After Dingri, the route extends to west along with Pengqu river valley, going through Zhaguo, then arriving Gangga. Extending to southwest from Gangga, the route goes under Labujikang peak by a 42km tunnel, then arriving Yalai, then Nielamu and Zhangmu. The nature gradient between Nielamu and Zhangmu is 110‰, line mileage 20km, thus the rack rail technology or the linear motor driving should be considered for train to climb the steep slope more than 110‰. Another possible scheme is to build an 88km tunnel with a 28‰ gradient between Gangga and Zhangmu for going under Himalaya, so as to avoid the 110‰ steep slope between Nielamu-Zhangmu.

  • Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Sindhupalchok OSOCC Assessment Cell 08.05.2015
    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Sindhupalchok OSOCC Assessment Cell 08.05.2015 This report is produced by the OSOCC Assessment Cell based on secondary data from multiplce sources, including the Government of Nepal, UNDAC, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organisation and media sources. I. Situation Overview Sindhupalchok is one of the worst-affected districts as a result of the earthquake that took place on the 25th April. While the initial epicentre of the earthquake was in Gorkha district, the highest magnitude (6.7) aftershock took place in Sindupolchok district 17km south of Kadari (USGS 2015). As of 7 May, 3057 people were dead and 860 are injured. 3000 people remain unaccounted for. Many VDCs have still not been reached due to remoteness and accessibility both in terms of roads and telecommunications (GoN 8 May). According to district authorities 63,885 houses are severely and 2,751 houses are moderately damaged. Based on government reporting on damaged houses as of 6th May an estimated 109,000 people (Ministry of Home Affairs 7th May) are affected (40% of district population as per the 2011 Census). Around 90,000 people have been identified as in need of assistance based on reporting at the VDC level. This figure is however unconfirmed and represents merely a preliminary estimate based on a combination of reports from a range of sources providing information on needs at the VDC level1 (pls. see below map for an illustration of aggregated number of reported people in need). 1 . Sources include Humanitarian agencies sit-reps, assessment reports, government data, social and news media.
