The Rivers in Nepal

Nepal is economically poor but naturally rich. Green forests, tranquil lakes,snow -capped mountains,etc . are the resources of Nepal. Among them, river is the important resource. Nepal is the second rich country in the world in water resource. Most of the rivers of Nepal are originated through Himalayas. As a result, the rivers have plenty of water even in dry season. There are many rivers in the country. Among them Gandaki  in the central part, Koshi in the eastern part and Karnali in the western part are important. The rivers of Nepal are of great importance. First they can be used to generate electricity. Nepalese people still use oil-lamps and candle to light their houses. It is because Nepal is not able to produce enough electricity. If the government gives proper attention, Nepal can generate enough electricity from the Nepalese rivers. Secondly, they can be used for irrigation. Nepalese farmers depend on rainfall for agriculture. As a result, the production is low. The land is left barren during  dry season. The rivers of Nepal can be used for irrigating the farm. Thirdly, the tourists are attracted by the flow of water.As a result, tourism can be flourished. Fourthly, they can be used for transport. The Nepalese rivers have no enough volume of water for ship. However, rafting is possible. Fifthly, the rivers can be used for drinking purposes. If the government can spend money, drinking water can be supplied in big cities too. There is lack of enough drinking water in the big cities too. The rivers of Nepal can be used for drinking purposes. The rivers of Nepal are being polluted. The holy rivers of Kathmandu, Bagmati, and Bishnumati are badly polluted. The wastage are thrown in these rivers. This should be stopped at any cost.The rivers of Nepal are not properly used for irrigation and generation of electricity. It is because of the lack of technicians and adequate capital. The country has to allot adequate budget for such purposes. If done so,plenty of crops can be grown and money can be earned by selling electricity in neighboring countries.
