Nepal and water resources

NEPAL AND WATER RESOURCES
Nepal is a landlocked country although it is rich in the water resources. It is the second largest country after Brazil in the water resources.Nepal has got more that 600 big rivers which has the total capacity of 83,000 megawatt electricity. The rivers like Sapta koshi, Indrawati, Seti, Mahakali, sunkoshi etc. are the main rivers of the Nepal.
Nepal due to some political and economic problems is not able to produce the enough amount of electricity for Nepal itself. It has not enough budget to buy the thermal power plant for the production of the electricity. The total capacity is enough for the half part of the Asia but due to the problem it is not enough for the nepali people and are compelled to stay in Loadshedding. This is due to the weak political situation that the government have no time to think about this matter.
In Nepal up to now there is average 250 mw electricity in use and half of it is provided by the Kulekhani power project. If planning is made properly then it will have a good future. Most of the river came from the Himalayan range so it has a goos speed of flow.
Nepal can be rich in the world if it can utilize and do proper use of the water resources I n terms of electricity. People must be give chance to make the research regarding the sources and help them to produce. Then only Nepal can be prosperous and rich from its own resources.
