Water Resources Of Nepal

The natural resources of water that are useful for


water supply is called water resources. Nepal is a
second richest country in water resources. Here are
more than 6000 Rivers are situated. The sources
of water resources are; River ,lake , Pond, etc.
Most of the big river of here are connected with
himalayan region. Due to the huge source of water
resources, there is the possibility of generating
83000 MW of hydroelectricity in Nepal
Water is essential to live. It is uses in many
areas like; agricultural, industrial, household,
environmental activities, irrigation, etc. Nepal
is second richest country in water resources,
unfortunately most people in urban and rural
areas suffer from scarcity of clean drinking
water. There is inadequate supply of water to
cope up with the increase in population in the
urban and industrialized area
LOAD SHEDDING IN NEPAL
The reduction of power demand by a utility provider
during peak or stressed time is known as load shedding.
Nepal is second richest country in water resources so
the possibility of energy generation is fairly high. Nepal
has capacity to produce 83000 megawatt
hydroelectricity since many rivers are of fast flow of
nature round the year. The production of about 43000
megawatt hydroelectricity is viable from economic and
technical point of view. But we are not even able to
generate 1000 megawatt of energy .
In Nepal, the hydro electricity produced is mainly
supplied to the urban areas. Reliable energy source has
not reached the villages and remote areas yet. Therefore,
we are facing the problem of load shedding. Load
shedding means power cut so we cant use electricity,
Because of power cut we cant light a bul so we cant
cook food and cant search anything in night time. Loads
shedding hampers in every field to any people
