The Rivers of Nepal

                            A tiny mountainous country Nepal is the second richest country in the water. About 6000 rivers and rivulets are available in our country. The loftiest Himalayas, tranquil lakes, splashing rivers, rushing torrents, incessant spring etc are the main sources of water in our country.

               Multi-dozens of river that are oriented from the Himalayas and the mountains are also the main source of water in the Nepal. The endless flowing the river attract the people for rafting, fishing, irrigating and immense hydro power potential. similarly many rivers emerged during the rainy seasons which are used by farmers during the farming. The main rivers of Nepal are - the koshi in the east which is the biggest river by the tribute of seven major rivers like Tamor, Dudhkoshi, Likhu, Indrawati, Sunkoshi, Tamakoshi and the viz-Arune. So the people also called it the sapta koshi. Similarly the Gandaki in the middle known as the Sapta Gandaki does also consist seven tributes like- Kaligandaki, Trishuli, Budhigandaki, Daraudi, Seti, Madi, and the Marshyand. Like wise the longest river Karnali flows down to the western part of the Nepal. It is also said that the potentials of Nepal to produce the electricity is the 83,000 megawatt. It is in fact an incredibly huge amount.But due the lack of scientific tools and technology our country Nepal have generated only a hand full of the electricity so far. Due to the such kind of the things Nepalese people are compelled to pay the high rate for the electricity. It is a matter of great shame and misfortune.

             The river do play a crucial role in the all round development of a mountainous country like ours. Firstly, they can be used to generate electricity which is the backbone of the nation to established a factory industries and to run the electricity transportation and communication. secondly they can help in the field of tourism by attracting the tourist for adventures games like rafting, fishing and so on. Secondly they can be used for the irrigation. Nepal is an agro-based country. A huge mass of the land are kept barren during the  dry season. Similarly the rivers can be used to supply the drinking water, cooking, bathing, and other daily uses. Further more the rivers can be used for the regional or international boundaries for political and administrative purpose. These are the reasons why the rivers are of the vital important.

                 On the other hand river sometimes can be a bitter curse. They are often over-flood in the rainy seasons and ruin in the entire fields and houses on their banks.So hundred of thousand of people lose their lives as well as their property. They also cause the landslides, flood and the soil erosion.

              Despite these all the rivers play vital role for the development.  If they utilized appropriately and preserved from being polluted they can be heavenly boon for the Nepalese people. But unfortunately the rivers Nepal are being badly polluted. They are no longer rivers but the drainage. Similarly fate is faced by Fewa Tal in the Pokhara. It is extremely unfortunate and shameful matter. It must be stopped at any cost. This all is because of lack of technician and substantial capital together with people's accountability. The country has not allows adequate budget for the preservation of the rivers and rivoluts. If the such of kind of work is done then the work our country can be develop properly.

             Therfore every drop of the rivers in Nepal is pearl. They should be utilized at any cost and any place and time.
