Drinking Water Resource, Source, Important, Use, Problems, Conservation  in Nepal

Facts about water in nepal.

Water is one of the most important basic needs for all the living being. About 70% of the human body is made up of water. Human beings can live without food for some time but not without water. Water is used for various purposes, such as for cooking food, washing clothes, bathing, growing crops, construction work and for generating hydro-electricity. Water plays a vital role in the development of a country. Clean drinking water is necessary for good health. -“the citizens are healthy, development of a country will be rapid. Thus, the government should make all the efforts to supply pure drinking water to its citizens.

We get water from different sources. About 71% of the earth is covered with water and Nepal boasts herself to be very rich in water resources. However, about 20- 25 % of our people are still deprived of safe drinking water. The sources of water aren’t properly utilized. Water supply situation both in rural and urban areas is worsening day by day.

Due to rapid population growth, industrialization and urbanization, the demand for drinking water are increasing whereas water sources are drying up due to deforestation and environmental degradation. We often see long lines of women and children waiting their turn to collect little water in towns and cities. Villagers in rural areas need to walk hours to fetch a jarful of water.

Water Resource  in Nepal

Nepal calls to mind images of the Himalaya, peace, tranquility, and voluminous flowing water, which when harnessed to produce hydropower for export, provides the comfort of easy revenue.  Water in Nepal remains a seminal contribution to comprehensive thinking about the complexity of Himalayan waters. Water is most important for the life of living organisms such as plants, animal and man.

It is also essential for agriculture, industries, drinking, and many other purposes. The water of atmosphere reaches the earth surface through precipitation and form earth surface it reaches the atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration. Therefore, the continuous circulation of water from the earth to the atmosphere and vice-versa in maintained by nature. This is called the water cycle. Conventional water discourses are immune to the interdisciplinary perspective.

It has been calculated that total water on earth is 1.46 x 10 9 cubic kilometers. About 90% of water is found in the ocean, 4.1% on earth, 2.0% in the glacier, 0.052% in lake, river.

Water is a most important component of our ecosystem. It is raw material for photosynthesis and numerous other processes. Our body contains 100 pounds of water. It promotes chemical activity.

In recent years Nepal’s water wealth has begun to attract international attention as a resource of world-class proportions. Indeed, with a theoretical hydroelectric potential billed at 83,000 MW (Shrestha 1966) and an established inventory of feasible sites totaling about one-third of the above figure (MWR 1981), Nepal’s rivers hold the promise of abundant energy that very few places in the world can match.

When one adds to this electricity bonanza the prospect of irrigating one of the world’s most fertile areas -the northern Gangetic plains – for second and third crops, the vision of an overflowing cornucopia, seen from the vantage point of pure engineering, can be overpowering.

Initial expectations from Nepal’s water resources were based on an analysis that viewed falling water from a physicist’s perspective, which then fuelled both publicity and political hopes regarding the nation’s future. 1 Subsequently, the evolution of complex problems involved in harnessing the cascading waters of the Himalaya began to cast doubts on the viability of quick development. There were physical uncertainties regarding the quantity and nature of Nepal’s water.

Very little was known about the riverbeds and hills upon which gigantic engineering structures were to be built, and what became known was generally unfavorable to large structures. There were also incongruities between the vision of full-scale water resources development and larger social realities. These difficulties have taken the romantic euphoria out of Nepal’s water, and have left an uncomfortable hiatus in public debates regarding this physical asset.

This monograph is an attempt to step back and re-scan the horizon. It is an interdisciplinary effort at slicing anew the whole that is Nepal and her water resources and synthesizing the various strands of social and physical concerns that bear upon Nepali water (Gyawali 1983c). It does not propose a deep analysis of any individual element pertaining to water, although the need and scope exist for very specialized studies of the many manifestations of water. Indeed, for the specialist in the different disciplines, the treatment of their favorite subject in this monograph may seem to be hopelessly brief and almost callous. It is because the task set forth is to pick out only the essence of the various elements and to see how it weaves into the fabric.

Drinking Water in Nepal in the Past

In the past, people used to drink water directly from the source. The first piped water for drinking purpose was launched in Kathmandu during the time of Bir Shumsher. Water was brought through pipes from Shivapuri area and stored in a reservoir in Bansbari, Maharajgung. From the reservoir, water was supplied to different parts in the valley.

Similarly, during the time of Bhim Shumsher, water was brought through pipes from Sangle Khola and stored in the reservoir at Balaju and distributed to different places in Kathmandu.

In the context of Nepal, during the ruling period of Bir Shumsher, the first piped water was launched in Kathmandu for the drinking purpose. It was brought from Shivapuri area in Bansbari, Maharajgung. This water was supplied in the Kathmandu Valley. Similarly, during the time of Bhim Shumsher, water was brought through pipes from Sangle Khola and stored in the reservoir at Balaju and distributed to different places in Kathmandu.

However, it is only since the First Five Year Plan (1956-6 IAD) that the water supply became somewhat organized and systematic.

Drinking water in Nepal

“Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink”. In most of the remote and rural areas, people drink directly from the sources like rivers, spring, ponds etc. These open sources of water are polluted and contaminated. Many of these water sources dry up in winter. Such polluted water is the main cause for water-borne diseases like dysentery, typhoid, and cholera. Every year many infants, children, and adults become victims of these diseases.

There is an acute problem of rapid population growth in urban areas. The demand for drinking water is very high but difficult to fulfill. Most of the water-pipes laid down during the time of Ranas have little or no maintenances. Due to the carelessness of the people, water goes wasted as taps are let open event after use. People have to wake up early in the morning and have to stand in the queue for a long time just to get a bucket of water. Often people have to fulfill their needs by buying water from the private sector.

Essay on: rivers in nepal.

Rivers in Nepal

M oving mass of water which flows from high land to low land is called river. Rivers begin or rise to flow from mountains or lakes. They flow through mountains, rocks and plain lands. They finally fall in to the sea or some other river. There are a large number of rivers in Nepal. Most of them rise from Himalayas or high mountains. However, some come from the mountain tops. Most of the rivers in Nepal start from snow-capped mountains so they flow continuously. These rivers are permanent in flowing water.

A few names of such rivers are: Koshi, Tamor, Gandaki, Karnali, Arun, Trisuli, Rapti,Sunkoshi, Narayani, Seti etc. Koshi is the biggest, Gandaki is the deepest and Karnali is the longest of all these rivers in Nepal. We all are rich in water resource. We can make good income from these rivers. However, only a little part of water resource is in proper usage. It is unfortunate that most of the water flows down uselessly.

Rivers are very useful. They have many advantages. some of their advantages are given as follows. We can irrigate our fields from the water of rivers. People can use the water of rivers as drinking water. We can get fish from rivers. The rivers of Nepal are very effective to produce hydro-electricity. We can row boat and raft along the rivers. Rivers can create some problems also. Flooding is one of the most dangerous problems caused by river.

Prakash Gaudel

Despite the 'immense' water resources available, Nepal has not been able to transform this abundance of water resources into desired economic growth and societal welfare. This paper attempts to analyze the reasons for such incessant challenges that loom over water resources development in Nepal. This paper finds that it is not the resource that limits the development of water resources, but the approaches and wishes that are framed on the foundation of persistent myths. Analyzing those myths, this paper highlights the realities in water resources management of Nepal, and suggests that without dismantling the existing myths, the sustainable development of water resources seems limited.

'Water is a precious gift of nature, essential for human [sic and other creatures'] survival. Without water, life on earth cannot be sustained. Water is required for basic human needs such as drinking, cooking and bathing, for irrigation to grow crops, for hydropower to produce energy, for industry and for the environment. Water is also inherent component of the ecological chain on which all life and life-supporting systems depend. In Nepal and other Himalayan Societies, water from the mountains also has important cultural and spiritual significance.' Water Resources Strategy Nepal 2002 1. Prologue Water is the most valued natural resource Nepal possesses. In addition, it is the principle 'resource supporting the economy of Nepal' (Water Resources Strategy 2002[WRS]). So far, as per the WRS, as discussed below, the country has used only a small portion of the available water. However, its demand is increasing and would grow in the days to come. Its efficient and optimum use would not only help Nepal to build a strong economy, but could also substantially contribute to development of the countries of the Ganga Basin. Accordingly, dialogues for cooperation at the regional level have been going at the professional level for a long time even if they are yet to bear fruits. This chapter is devoted to the discussions and analysis of Nepal's water resource related policies and institutions of Nepal from the standpoint of its different uses within the country and areas of cooperation with the countries in the basin, mainly with southern neighboring country. Based on the analysis, some suggestions are also offered. Published government documents, personal experiences of the contributors and discussions with stakeholders form the basis of discussion and the analysis of the subject matter. 2. Water Availability, its current Use and demand An estimated annual runoff from the rivers (6,000 rivers and rivulets) of Nepal 'is 220 billion cubic meters, with an average annual precipitation of 1530 mm. In addition, Nepal is also endowed with extensive ground water resources. Ground water is found in most of the Terai and in some mid-hill valleys like Kathmandu and Dang' (WRS). As per WRS, 14,880 m 3 of available water was used in 2000 for different purposes, such as domestic use, irrigation, industrial use, and generating hydropower. However, the National Water Plan (NWP), a plan of action prepared by the Water and Energy Commission Secretariat (WECS) and approved by the Government of Nepal on September 7, 2005 to implement the WRS in a time bound manner, states that 15 BCM of 225 BCM of annually available water has been used for economic and social purposes. The plan further states that 'Nepal has utilized mainly medium and small rivers for different uses such as drinking water, irrigation and hydropower. The larger and perennial Himalayan Rivers, except for a few run-of the-river schemes, have been virtually left untapped'. In addition, the NWP has recognized that: (i) Around 60% of the irrigable land, (1.76 million hectares (ha) of 2.64 million ha of cultivable land of which 66% of this land is irrigable), 'has some kind of irrigation facility, and less than one- This paper has been prepared on the request of the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) as input to their forthcoming book on the Ganges, which is due for publication in September 2016.

Kathmandu’s Melamchi Water Supply Project is a spectral infrastructure. 40 years in the making, it is unclear whether this river diversion scheme will ever be completed. Still, it is exacerbating the city’s water scarcity in a state that at times seems as spectral as its infrastructure projects. Since the early 1970s, the residents of Kathmandu have been visited by a fantastic specter: the Melamchi Water Supply Project. This scheme is a plan to divert the water of a river to the city in order to cure it from a chronic water shortage. Time and again, however, this specter has proven impalpable, despite frequent announcements by the government and foreign donors. One important outcome of this spectral infrastructure is a severe lack of funding for the maintenance of the existing water network; even official sources estimate 60% of leakage. Combined with the exponential growth of the city since the Maoist insurgency in 1996, this leads to a progressive privatization of water and water infrastructure. As people are provided with water of low quality for only two hours every other day during dry season, they have to store large quantities of it in rooftop tanks. At the same time, private water companies supply a growing number of households. My paper will argue that the lack of water poses a growing threat to political authority in Kathmandu as can be seen by daily protests in front of the headquarters of the city’s water authorities. However, the fact that the state is as elusive as its unbuilt infrastructures leaves those protesting without a clear target: due to the Maoist uprising and the still uncompleted peace process Kathmandu has not had a mayor since 2002 while the newly established Republic of Nepal is still in lack of a constitution.

Despite decades of investment and institutional refinement, externally funded irrigation programs still exhibit low success rates and more particularly in countries facing institutional and political challenges. This paper aims at bringing fresh insights on the reasons for such shortcomings with the particular case study of a donor-sponsored program recently implemented in the Mid and Far Western Regions of Nepal. Findings indicate that the political situation and institutional system in Nepal have substantially affected the outcomes of the agricultural water management interventions conducted by the program. Yet, beyond the influence of these contextual factors, two other (less acknowledged) mechanisms have contributed to create a gap between project objectives and outcomes: a) concepts commonly found in project documents and development discourses such as participation or empowerment are kept vague and ambiguous and lack an explicit recognition of power distribution; and b) the organizational system of many funding agencies tends to create incentives for project staff to show outcomes rather than to make impacts. These findings suggest that refining current models of AWM interventions is not sufficient to improve their achievements. A more radical shift is needed. A few avenues for change include to: 1) pay a greater attention to the meaning and operationalisation of common development concepts (e.g., rights based approach, empowerment or participation); 2) consider the way interventions affect power distribution among stakeholders, including communities; and 3) modify the organizational system of the funding agency to increase its downward accountability to targeted beneficiaries. To sum-up, we need to rethink development as a means of empowering governments and citizens rather than as a way to provide assistance.

Integrated water resources management (IWRM) has been prescribed in the global water policy literature for decades. This article looks at how the concept has been applied in Nepal. It highlights the normative approach in IWRM policy formulation, the existing institutional barriers to apply it and how these resulted in the framing of IWRM ‘implementation’ as merely a compilation of donor-funded projects. Current discourse on IWRM highlights the need to shift the emphasis from national policy formulation to local adaptive, pragmatic approaches to IWRM. This article brings to light the need to identify potential entry points to scale up locally rooted water management approaches towards the development of nested institutional set-ups in water resources management.

Although Nepal has made remarkable progress in the drinking water only sector from past few decades, the status of drinking water, in terms of climate change, is poorly documented and thus less known. This review aims to sum up drinking water status in climate change perspectives by reviewing available secondary data from published and gray literature. Climate change, and its impact on the drinking water sector, is undeniable. Though many policies and laws are enforced to address climate change issues, very few policies and laws have incorporated climate change-resilient WASH as a priority. It is of current need to carry out action-based research followed by eco-region wise interventions for adaptation and mitigation of impacts on WASH sector due to climate change.

This review provides the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) status in Nepal.

Clear evidence on the climate change impact on drinking water and adaptation is provided via review.

The climate in Nepal is greatly affected by the Himalayan mountain range and South Asian monsoon ( NCVST 2009 ). An annual maximum temperature increase of 0.056 °C ( DHM 2017 ) has been experienced; likewise, a 1.8 °C increase in temperature was reported in Nepal between 1975 and 2006 ( Karki 2004 ; Synnott 2012 ). This rate is higher than the global average which ranged from 0.8 to 1.2 °C ( IPCC 2018 ). About 80% of the precipitation in Nepal pours down in the form of summer monsoon from June to September ( DHM 2015 ). Trend analysis from 1971 to 2014 shows that the pre-monsoon rainfall in the high Himalayan areas has reduced significantly, by 0.74 mm per year ( DHM 2017 ). The South Asian monsoon-dependent water sources of Nepal are strongly influenced by the change in temperature and precipitation with a range of effects such as Glacier melt, snowmelt, rain-fed downstream spring, and groundwater recharge ( NCVST 2009 ). The changing monsoon pattern and the decreasing amount of rainfall have also been evident widely in Nepal ( Ahmad et al. 2018 ). There are wide variation of climate within a north-south distance of 200 km in Nepal ( Shankar & Shrestha 1985 ; Chalise 1994 ; UNEP 2001 ).

Generally in Nepal, variation in the effect of climate change is considered mainly due to its ecological diversity, which can be distinguished as mountains, hills, and southern plains (known as Terai ). Assessing impacts of climate change based on eco-region shall be a wise approach. The increasing trend of temperature rate is higher in the mountains compared to other regions. Table 1 demonstrates the status of temperature and precipitation description in different eco-regions. No clear trend is projected for either increase or decrease in mean annual precipitation in Nepal. In terms of spatial distribution, increasing monsoon rainfall trends in eastern and central Nepal were evidenced ( DHM 2017 ). Moreover, the projection indicates an increase in monsoon and post-monsoon rainfall as well as an increase in the intensity of rainfall and a decrease in winter precipitation. Climate change concerns in the Himalayan region are multifaceted – encompassing natural disasters like landslides, floods, and droughts ( Barnett et al. 2005 ). Rising temperature and change in precipitation patterns in many parts of the country resulting from climate change are predicted to have an influence on water resource availability in future ( Dahal et al. 2020 ). In Nepal, this issue has not been adequately considered in the design of the water system and the focus is more on the supply and coverage side. It is obvious that there are some climate-related challenges meeting the sustainable development goal (SDG) by 2030. Thus, in this context, this review will provide an overview of the trend in the drinking water status of Nepal with climate change perspectives to emphasize safe, sustainable, and climate-resilient water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services.

Search criteria

This paper was prepared by reviewing both published articles and gray literature. We reviewed published data on water, sanitation, hygiene, and climate change over the period 1980–2020. Electronic database-based searches were done: Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, and HINARI. The databases were searched using key words: drinking water, sanitation, hygiene, climate change, temperature, precipitation, and Nepal. The searches for published data were confined to literature that was published with abstracts in English. Based on the inclusion criteria for the title and abstract, the full text of the relevant studies was reviewed and analyzed.

Published or unpublished documents, policy briefs, reports, power-point presentations, web content, and primary data from the Government of Nepal (GoN)’s relevant departments like Department of Water Supply and Sewerage Management, Sector Efficiency Improvement Unit, Ministry of Water Supply, and Department of Hydrology and Meteorology were considered as gray literature. Most of the gray literature was in the Nepali language, with a few in English – all kind of literature relevant to our objective was considered for review and, where possible, only the gist of Nepali literature was translated.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Documents were included if: (i) the study was carried out in Nepal, (ii) the sample size was more than 50, (iii) they were policy documents, sectoral reports, status report, and web-based information from authorized GoN's institutions, and (iv) the study provided information on WASH and the climate change scenario of Nepal. In addition, for analyzing meteorological parameters, we purchased meteorological data from the year 1983 to 2013 from the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology. We excluded those studies that primarily focused on engineering aspects of WASH and those climate change-related studies that exclusively focused on climatological parameters (e.g., glaciology and GHGs).

Water supply status in Nepal

Recent data from the Department of Water Supply and Sewerage Management (DWSSM) in 2019 reported, merely 51.69% of the population have piped water coverage and the remaining 48.31% are relying on un-piped locally and privately managed systems like private tubewells ( Figure 1 ). Even if Nepal achieved the water supply related MDG goals, when analyzed by facility type, non-piped coverage has increased from 36% in 2000 to 44% in 2017 ( JMP 2019 ). Similarly when analyzed by the service level, during these 20 years, safely managed improved water supply sources have just decreased from from 24% to only 18% ( JMP 2021 ).

Water supply type on the basis of eco-regions. (Source: DWSSM 2019 ).

After achieving the basic water supply target of MDGs ( NPC 2016 ), Nepal has now set its target for the SDGs. The specific SDG 6 targets for the year 2030 include basic water supply coverage to 99%, piped water supply to 90%, and improved sanitation to 95% of households ( NPC 2017 ). Despite the fact that Nepal is trying its best to improve the accessibility and sustainability of water supply, there are disparities in the ecological division level. The water supply and sanitation coverage seem to be unequal though not so noteworthy ( Figure 1 ).

‘Poorly functioning systems result in unreliable, insufficient and unsafe water supply, which has direct impact on the proper use and cleanliness of toilets and hand washing’ as well as hygiene behaviors ( Budhathoki 2019 ). Nepal's functionality of the water supply schemes is not as expected as the met target of basic water supply. Only 28.13% of drinking water schemes are fully functional ( DWSSM 2019 ). Even if there is a decreasing trend in water supply schemes requiring repairs, reconstruction, and rehabilitation ( Figure 2 ), available data indicate that water supply systems are not in good condition to have a reliable water supply that is sustainable. This also raises concerns on affectivity and sustainability of sanitation and hygiene-related activities.

Vulnerability of climate change in the water sector

Impacts of climate change are inevitable in almost every sector, nonetheless agriculture and food security, water resource and energy, forest and biodiversity, public health, climate-induced disaster, and urban settlements and infrastructures are directly recognized by the National Adaptation Program of Action (NAPA) for their vulnerability ( NAPA 2010 ). Furthermore, climate change can create multiple impacts on water resources due to alteration of water flow on the rivers and streams ( Mishra et al. 2018 ).

Dried spring sources are evident in various parts of the country. For instance, In Tanahu district, depletion of stream, spring and point source water in 10 years (2004 to 2014) was observed by by 20, 34 and 50% retrospectively ( RWSSP-WN 2016 ). Changing rainfall patterns and temperatures, and frequent occurrence of climate-induced disasters, has caused drying and depletion of spring water sources ( Adhikari 2018 ). A spring assessment survey done in 2017 showed that 73.2% of the springs used as drinking water had a reduced flow and 12.2% had dried up over the decade in the watershed of Thulokhola, located in the Nuwakot district – Province 3 of Nepal ( Poudel & Duex 2017 ). A similar study in Melamchi showed the volume of water in the springs has decreased by 30% in the last decade ( Chapagain et al. 2017 ). There is no doubt that the climate change impact on water resources has led to a drinking water shortage in the hilly and mountain areas of Nepal ( Gurung et al. 2019 ). It is already evident that because of climate change water shortages will be accelerated, mainly due to the gap between demand and supply. Poor and subsistence farmers will be the hardest hit ( Chaulagain 2006 ), and a compelling reason for the community to opt for an alternate source of water ( Gum et al. 2009 ). Here, the alternate source is undeniably an un-improved source with compromised water quality and quantity.

Climate-induced disasters in the water sector

Due to the varying topography of Nepal, 80% of the population is at risk from natural hazards including floods, landslides, windstorms, hailstorms, fires, earthquakes, and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) ( MOHA 2018 ). Climate change-induced hydro metrological disasters, like floods and droughts, are more likely to increase in future, causing loss of livelihood and property ( UNDRR 2019 ). Increasing temperature due to climate change has caused glaciers to melt rapidly causing more critical floods in lowlands of the Terai, along with slow-onset disasters like heat and cold waves ( NAPA 2010 ; ICIMOD 2013 ; Kaji et al. 2020 ). The Koshi flood in 2008, the Farwest flood in 2008, and the Terai flood in 2017 are some of the massive flood events that caused severe impact on lives and properties in the lowlands of the Terai ( ICIMOD 2013 ; Chapagain et al. 2017 ). Meanwhile, in the mountains and Himalayan regions, different kinds of climate-induced disasters like GLOFs and landslides are evident. Studies have shown around 21 glacier lakes are at risk of bursting, including six critical GLOFS ( NAPA 2010 ; ICIMOD 2011 ; Khadka et al . 2019 ). Along with casualties like life, properties, and livelihood loss, climate-induced disasters like floods and landslides have a major impact on WASH infrastructures like water supply pipes, intakes, reservoirs, and sanitation facilities ( Oxfam 2008 ; Ahmad et al. 2018 ). The effect of this could be more devastating in developing countries like Nepal. As a result of such impact, the functionality of the WASH infrastructures is ultimately reduced, leading to compromised WASH behaviors and health issues relating to the same.

Climate-induced influences in the water sector and its impact on health

Direct and devastating effects of changing climate and its influence on the water sector raise a key concern for public health. Heavy rainfall accelerates flood frequency and intensity in the Terai, excessive runoff and landslides in the hills, and water quality degrades in the mountains. Similarly, with low rainfall, droughts are becoming common in the Terai and a water-scarce condition is created in the hills, as indicated by the drying of water sources. Low rain causes a shift in the snow line in the mountains. Temperature upsurge will also have an impact on water balance and reduce total water availability where subsistence farmers will be the hardest hit ( Chaulagain 2006 ). Water-borne, water-washed, and vector-borne diseases are major issues of public health that come with rising temperature and fluctuating precipitation ( Figure 3 ). The substantially high average temperature ( Karki 2004 ; Dahal 2006; Synnott 2012 ) certainly makes a favorable environment for disease-causing vectors like Anopheles and Aedes mosquitos ( Rogers & Randolph 2006 ). Disasters and natural calamities are not to be mistaken for population casualties, but the after effect of those calamities is always the bigger threat and challenge – where again the diseases are the major killers.

Cause, effect and health impact of climate change in different eco-regions.

Adaptation practices in the water sector

In response to the decrease in precipitation and drying up of water sources like springs, local communities have limited adaptation measures and are largely depending on local initiatives such as water tank construction at the source itself, transporting water using pipes, water diversion from other sources, digging deeper wells, and traveling for activities like laundry and fetching drinking water ( Poudel & Duex 2017 ). Besides this, the conservation of lakes and the promotion of rainwater harvesting are some other prevalent adaptation practices to reduce water stress ( Patra & Terton 2017 ). Other local-level adaptation strategies to adapt to prevailing water stresses are water harvesting (small-scale structures), harvesting of rainwater, artificial groundwater recharge, conservation ponds, irrigation channels, and drip water irrigation ( Jha 2011 ; Adhikari 2018 ). A potential study of rain water harvesting to combat climate change-induced water shortage in the Arghakhachi district has concluded that proper rainwater harvesting technology can compensate the immediate water uses such as domestic use, irrigation, and recharging groundwater and contribute to springs ( WSSDO 2016 ). It is evident that the construction of conservation ponds by adapting rainwater harvesting methods has helped to revive dried-up wells and tube wells in Province 3 ( Bista 2019 ). Conservation ponds themselves, being an indigenous practice but reintroduced as adaptive practice in Nepal, and proven as good strategy for storing water and replenishing groundwater reserves ( FAO 2015 ).

Some indigenous practices to adapt hazards are not hazard resistant enough, mainly due to limited resource choices as well as usage, and also due to low economical conditions. Water-related interventions and development practices in Nepal did not consider climate and only focus on coverage in terms of access. A recent approach that seemed promising for reducing the climate change impact on water supply is the Water Safety Plan (WSP). WSP locally addresses disaster risk-reduction and climate change adaptation strategies, along with capacity building at the local level ( Baidya et al. 2017 ). WSP is based on hazard analysis and critical point and the multiple barrier approach. The main principle behind this is, if one of the barriers fails, it can be compensated by effectively operating the other barriers, which will reduce the contamination passing through the entire system ( DWSSM 2013 ). DWSS has initiated the implementation of WSPs in all districts since 2008. Even after the implementation of WSP in almost 2,000 water supply schemes, sustainable implementation of WSP itself is affected by factors like depletion of sources, increased disasters, and decreased water quality. Therefore, consideration for climate change was adapted in the same principle of WSP ( MoWSS 2017 ). In Nepal climate resilient water safety plan (CRWSP) has been introduced in few water supply systems, where based on health based targets climate related existing and future hazardous events are also identified and managed accordingly ( MoWSS 2017 ).

Adaptation practice in the health sector

Nepal recently developed the Health National Adaptation Plan (H-NAP) with a vision of developing climate-resilient health systems for protecting human health from the probable impacts of climate change. The plan aims to develop national frameworks and strategies on climate change and health along with a focus on the health sector and inter-sector collaborations, including research. Furthermore, it may be a milestone in mainstreaming health in the overall NAP and, in the following days, practical evidence of adaptation practices shall be documented.

Nepal is experiencing the impact of climate change in the early stages as a consequence of climate change directly hitting the Himalayas and freshwater reserves. The majority of national water supply systems are spring sources that are reliant on precipitation. Most of the glaciers are melting, causing increased risk of flooding, and thereby causing not only disaster situations but also affecting the functionality of the WASH-related infrastructures. The water supply coverage and its functional status do not match the water demand, e.g., annual 1.9% sanitation facility growth rate versus stagnant 28% functional water supply coverage. The functionality of WASH structures is largely questionable; the resilience to hold off the climate change impact and climate-induced disasters is yet a far distanced target for Nepal. The emerging climate scenario demands that the prerequisites such as drinking water supply and sanitation facilities be made climate resilient, identifying climate threats, and designing disaster risk-reduction measures.

Though Nepal surpassed the MDG to improve access to basic water supply, the disaggregated data clearly show the inequality of service coverage among eco-regions. Only basic water supply coverage increased, with no clear emphasis on quality and resilience. Hills – being most populous – are the most deprived region for basic water supply and are relying upon unprotected locally managed spring sources. Water supply is inadequate, unreliable, and low quality even in the capital city of Nepal ( Katuwal & Bohara 2011 ). In a context where basic water supply is poor, compromised drinking water quality poses multiple risks to health where climate change plays synergetic effect on human health with a range of effects like water- and vector-borne diseases, climate-induced disasters, and infrastructural damage.

Very few policy documents justify eco-region-specific development plans, programs, and designs for adapting to the changing climate and to be resilient for future climatic conditions. In practice, the climate adaptive programs are only focused on a few sectors – mainly agricultures. The interlinkages between multi-sectors and the multidimensional synergetic effect of climate change on different sectors have not been well identified and addressed at the ground level in Nepal. Social networking and local indigenous adaptations with limited technical know-how within community are the only coping mechanisms against climate change hazards in community.

Climate change effects are evident in the water sector and will surely deteriorate current scenarios. Action-oriented studies on source improvement, rainwater harvesting, and groundwater recharging are essential to understand both qualitative and quantitative aspects of water usage. Given the diversity of Nepal, if climate sensitivity is to be considered, eco-region-based programs and interventions shall be more relevant and realistic. Efforts must be focused on adaptations and climate resilience.

Essay on My Country Nepal | 700+ Words

Essay on My Country Nepal | Paragraph Writing 600+ Words

My country is the land of diversity and is very unique. My country Nepal lies in the Southern part of Asia. It is surrounded by two powerful countries India and China and is landlocked. It has an area of about 147,516 sq. kilometers. Although small, my country is diverse both in terms of geography and culture. It is like a beautiful garden with many people from different backgrounds. It is a country with a variety of castes and cultures.

Nepal’s flag is also the most unique to the world. Our country’s flag stands out among the rest due to its shape. The colors and symbols of our flag also represent the country’s peace-loving and friendly nature, bravery, and immortal history.

In my country Nepal, we can find places with altitudes ranging from as low as 70 meters to the highest peak in the world 8848 meters. It is divided into 3 regions Terai, Pahad, and Himal with the temperature of the place varying from hot to cold. Each region has its own specialty. Nepal’s Himalayan regions have high and mighty mountain ranges that are breathtaking to look at. Out of the world’s top 10 highest peaks, 8 of them fall in my country Nepal.

For You: Essay on Importance of English Language 

The Hilly region is full of green hills and a very cool temperature to live in. It has many historical and religious places. Terai too is mostly a flat stretch of land with fertile soil. It is the granary of Nepal where most crops are grown. It is also an industrial region of our country.

The flora and fauna of my country are also very diverse. The difference in altitudes makes our country have various ecosystems. Foreigners from all over the world pay thousands of dollars just to see our country’s reach of flora and fauna, rivers, lakes, cliffs, waterfalls, snowcapped mountains, and many other beautiful landscapes. The natural beauty of my country Nepal is difficult to find in other places.

Our country also has sites of great religious and historical importance where thousands of pilgrims visit every year. Places like Pashupatinath, Muktinath, Lumbini, Swyambunath, etc are very popular. It is already a pride to have come from such a country.

Essay on My Country Nepal

Our country also ranks in the top 5 for water resources. For such a small country to have rich water resources it is a boon. If fully utilized we can provide electricity to other countries too. Important personalities like King Janak, Gautam Buddha, Arniko, Bhrikuti were also born in Nepal. They all carry historical and religious importance even up to date. Our country’s warriors and commanders are still known today for their bravery and courage. It is also the reason our country never has to celebrate independence day as we never were colonized.

Nepal is also blessed with people of different backgrounds and ethnicity. In the past, many people had migrated to Nepal and settled here and hence the diversity. My country Nepal is also secular and respects all religions equally despite the numbers. There are 126 castes in Nepal and behind them, every culture has its significance. Each culture has its unique festivals and traditions. People also celebrate each other’s festivals with great fun. Nepali people are known for their hospitality and friendliness too.

But even after nature blessing our country, we have not been able to fully utilize it. Problems such as corruption and political instability run deep in the country. Our natural resources are not being taken care of properly and our country is being poor day by day. People are rich but the country is poor. Poverty is also seen in our country. Lack of proper management of wastes has also polluted our water and slowly destroying our forests. This also means our plants and animals are slowly being extinct. Illegal hunting and farming of precious animals and plants are also ruining our ecosystem.

This is why to save our country from further danger and poverty proper management and a responsible leader are required. The citizens of our country should also feel responsible for the country and not only blame the leaders. Proper plans and policies should be required to protect our resources. Social evils such as discrimination should also be tackled. Conservative-minded people should be given awareness and strict punishments for corruption and other illegal acts should be given. Employment opportunities should also be created as many people are leaving the country for jobs abroad.

हिमालको सेतो फेटा, पहाडको हरियो भोटा र तराईको पहेँलो कछाड फेरेर बसेको मेरो देश मेरो मुटुको टुक्रा हो । सिन्धुमा हराएको विन्दु जस्तै विश्वको भूमण्डलमा सानो देखिए पनि मेरो देश मेरो प्राकृतिक दृश्यले एकदमै सुन्दर र पवित्र छ । पूर्व मेची र पश्चिममा कालीको रेखा कोरेर उत्तरतर्फ हिमश्रृङ्खलाको प्राकृतिक पर्खाल लगाई स्वयम् प्रकृति नै मेरो देशको रक्षामा खटिएकी छिन् । यस देशको चार किल्लाभित्र प्रकृति रमाउँदै नाचेकी छिन् ।

सूर्यका सुनौलो र सुकुमोल किरणहरु जब हिमाललाई स्पर्श गर्दै आउँछन् । अनि मेरो देशमा उज्यालो देखिन्छ । रहस्यको सखर मेरो देश अनेकता भित्र एकता भएको देश हो विश्वभरिकै प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्यलाई जम्मा पारेर भगवान्ले यसै मुलुकमा खन्याएकी छिन् । “चार जात छतिस वर्णको फूलबारी” का रुपमा रहेको मेरो देशभित्र अनेक जातजाति छन् ।

शेर्पा नाच, गुरुङको रोदी, लिम्बुको धाननाच र नेवारको लाखेनाचले यहाँ अलग–अलग संस्कृति र जातिको परम्परा छन् । तर यहाँ ती प्रत्येक जातजातिरुपी रंगीबिरंगी फूलहरुका बीचबाट विभिन्न संस्कृतिहरुका माझबाट एउटा राम्री सौन्दर्य ज्योतिको प्रस्तुती भएको छ र नेपाली संस्कृतिको जन्म भएको छ । यहाँ बुद्धका भक्तहरु पशुपतिका दर्शनको लागि छट्पटिरहेका र पशुपतिका भक्तहरु गुम्बा दर्शनको लागि यति स्वच्छ भूमिभित्र पशुपतिनाथ र स्वयम्भूले रत्नपार्कको मस्जिदसँग डाह गर्दैनन् । गिरिजाघरको विरुद्ध लडाई गरेका छैनन् । यसरी धार्मिक सहिष्ण्ुताको मूल फुटेको देश हो मेरो देश । हाम्रो देश नेपालमा सबै बिच घनिष्ट सम्बन्ध रहेको छ । यसले हाम्रो देशलाई अरु भन्दा फरक र राम्रो बनाएको छ । सबैका बिचमा हुने सहिष्णुताको भावनाले हाम्रो देशमा एकअर्कालाई हेप्ने, इर्श्या र डाहा गर्ने, धर्म र संस्कृतिमा बेदभाव गर्ने जस्ता काम हुदैनन्।

नेपालमा कलकल बग्ने खोला र छंगछंग गर्ने झरनाको आवाजमा चराचुरुङ्गी चिरबिर स्वरको मिश्रणले एउटा राम्रो ध्वनी निस्किन्छ अनि त्यसबाट नसोचेको आनन्दको प्राप्त हुन्छ । मानिस जब प्रकृतिको यस्तो रमणीय ठाउँमा आफु भएको देख्छ तब उसलाई केही कुराको मोह, स्वार्थ रहदैन ।

यहाँ जब खोलाको पवित्र पानीको स्पर्श हाम्रो जिउसंग हुन्छ तब एक प्रकारको आनन्द महसुस हुन्छ। त्यो आनन्द र त्यस्ता पलहरु हामी विश्वमा कतै पनि भेटाउन सक्दैनौ। त्यसैले त रम्घाको पाखामा भानु उदाउँछन् गोसाइकुण्डको यात्रामा देवकोटा गुनगुनाउँछन्, अर्घौ अर्चले लेखनाथ जन्माउँछ, औँसीका काली रातमा पनि भोसिको टोलमा मोती चम्कन्छन् । प्रकृतिको वातावरणले सिंगारिएका पहाडको स्वच्छ हावा र चिसो पानीले राता राता गाला भएका पहाडीहरु जब मुस्कुराउँछन् अनि त मोनालिसाको सौन्दर्य पनि पानी बन्छ ।
