Exploring Hydrological Methods for Sustainable River Management

Department of Energy Development (DoED) Nepal Guideline In accordance with the Guidelines for the Study of Hydropower Projects 2018, the DoED specifies that a compensation flow (10% of the lowest monthly flow or the amount recommended by IEE/EIA study) should be released downstream. This should be deducted from the available dry season flows for the computation of energy estimates. The government of Nepal plans to harness 10,000 MW by 2026 through various projects. To achieve this goal, it is essential to utilize numerous rivers across Nepal, considering environmental considerations and potential impacts. Determining an appropriate environmental flow figure is a challenge, and studies such as those conducted by Suwal et.al (2020) highlight the need for various indicators of hydrological methods to capture the dynamic nature of river flow in e-flows allocation.Lets discuss some hydrological methods. ...

कति आन्दोलन भए यो देशमा, कति विद्रोह भए , कति जनता मारिए परिवर्तन का शब्दहरूमा । यो व्यवस्था त्यो व्यवस्था, राजा, राणा, पंचायत, प्रजातन्त्र , लोकतन्त्र, गणतन्त्र, के के नामका अभ्यास भए यो सानो मुलुकमा , कति चोटि ढातिए, ठगिए सोझा साझा नेपालीहरु । फेरि ढुङ्गेयुग को कुरा चल्दै छ , हो, हाम्रा देश , सीमित स्वार्थी मानिसहरूको कब्जा मा छ, तर लोकतन्त्र अभ्यास आफैमा गलत पक्कै होइन । के राजा लाई मात्र देशको माया लागेको हो र, के राजाले सक्छन् यो देशको प्रगाति गर्न, नेपालको स्वाधीनता जोगाउन , गरिबी हटाउन , रोजगारी बढाउन, देशलाई आतमनिर्भर को मार्गमा डोर्याउन ? एउटा जनता को छोरोले सक्दैन? जपान त्यसै विकास भएको होइन, japanese are very disciplined, hardworking and work for the overall welfare. चीन को communism system हेर्नु होस्, आज चीन विश्व को एक नम्बर देश बन्दै छ, United states हेर्नुहोस्, a simple person can become a billionaire.

This is freedom. It’s absolutely necessary to refine our system. Mafias, corruption, monopoly, censorship, deceit bureaucracy must resign, be punished/reformed. The rule of law should be implemented. A good reformed democracy, visionary autocratic or wise king, all can bring peace or destruction. ...

Humanity

Humanity is not a new word; we all know about it. It is a quality a rational thinker possesses which distinguish himself as a kind, a non-harming and loving being. But is it that simple? NO, I don’t think so. Humanity is a complex issue because it involves thoughts and emotions. The word derived from Latin humanitas which means “human nature, kindness”. Some argue Humanity is the human race, while other define qualities such as love, compassion and even creativity, in understanding humanity. So humanity can be taken as a quality that is needed to be a good human. ...

मानिसहरुको आस्था ईश्वर प्रति कति धेरै हुन्छ है, एउटा ७० नाघेका बुवा , ५००-१००० को लाइनमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो, मैले सोधें हजुर आराम गर्नुस्, अनि पछि परिवार छिर्ने बेलामा जाँदा हुदैँन? उहाँले आफ्नो धर्म खेर जाने तर्क राख्नुभयो। म सोचें, जीवन भरिका पाप मन्दिर आउँदैमा पखालिन्छ र? मठ मन्दिर, चर्च मश्चिद, देव मूर्ति त आस्थाका प्रतीक मात्र त हुन्, धर्म त आफ्नै कर्म हुनुपर्ने । नत्र जीवन भरी भ्रष्ट, शोसक अनि हिंसक भएका, मर्ने बेला गंगा स्नान गरेर स्वर्ग पुग्छन्? फेरि स्वर्ग नर्क त मन भित्रै छ, यही जीवन मै छ। मन लाई स्वस्थ राख्न सके, खुसियाली त आफैमा बसेको हो । हिजो भेट हुने कति भक्तजनहरु जीवनमा केही अप्ठ्यारा परेर देवी पुकार्दै थिए, कति भाकल पूरा भएर कुखुरा, बाख्रा डोर्याउदै थिए। कति बली को पक्ष विपक्ष मा तर्क केलाउँदै थिए । म घन्ट को आवाज मा आफैलाई खोज्दै थिए । भीडका अनेक पात्र को आँखा बाट बेग्लै बेग्लै संसार हेर्दै थिए, म बिस्तारै मौन हुँदै गए। अनि त्यहाँ थिएन न जात को कुरा, कहाँ थियो लिङ्ग, धर्म , भेग अनि रूप को विभेद, साना नानी देखि चाउरी परेका लौरी हरु सँगै सँगै प्रतीक्षा मा थिए, देवी भेट्ने अनि आफ्नो भाग माग्ने प्रतीक्षामा। फेरि म सोच्न पुगे, हैन सबै जना समस्या बोकेर आएका छन्, देवीले क कसको इच्छा पूरा गर्लिन् ? मलाई केही माग्नै मन लागेन । ...

Gratitude

Gratitude can only bring us happiness and lighten the heaviness of our soul. I have wondered how I started and where I am going.

I will listen to the birds, and I will smell the petals. I will be lost in blues and green for hours. I will be focused, attentive and present. I will enjoy now. ...

Spear of love, Spear of hate, Spear of joy, Spear of threat, Spear of pain, Spear of shame, What was that, I could not combat! ...
