Rivers of Nepal
As we know, our country Nepal is gifted with many natural beauties, gifts, wonders, miracles and many more resources. Our tiny mountainous country Nepal is very rich in water resources. Some of them are the rushing torrents, rivers, lakes, springs and underground water resources. But among them, the rivers play the most important role in Nepal. Most of them rise from mountains or big lakes. They flow through mountains, hills, rocks and plains.
The major rivers in Nepal are Mechi, Koshi, Karnali, Bagmati, Narayani, Gandaki, Mahakali and others. The Koshi, in the eastern part of our country Nepal is the largest, the Narayani is the deepest and the Karnali is the longest rivers in Nepal. All these rivers rise from mountains. In fact, the origin of these rivers are mountains. These rivers are very neat and clean except the Bagmati in Kathmandu. It is really highly polluted. The amount of the water in all the rivers during dry seasons slightly decreases but in the rainy season, the water level gets increased. Each big river has several tributaries.
All the rivers in Nepal really play a vital role in the development of the country as these rivers have a great amount of potential for the production of hydro-electricity. According to the recent research, These rivers have the potential to produce 83000 mega watt of electricity. But we have produced only small amount of hydro-electricity using the water of the rivers. Similarly, they are very important for the irrigation purpose. As our country Nepal is an agricultural country, it is extremely useful to irrigate our fields and farms and help farmers grow crops and vegetables in high amount. As a result, we can be independent in agriculture. The water of them can be used for cooking, drinking and washing, bathing, swimming and many more. They are also useful for transportation and entertainment. Nowadays, many people enjoy rafting in our rivers. These rivers are extremely beneficial from the tourism point of view. For political and administrative purposes, they are also the regional and other boundaries. Thus, the rivers in Nepal are very advantageous and useful for us.
During rainy season, these rivers are extremely dangerous in our country Nepal. They are often over-flooded and destroy the fields and houses of their banks. Many people are killed every year by the flood in Nepal. Many fertile fields have been swept away. They also cause the landslides when they are over- flooded.
Specially the rivers which flow through or near the cities are highly getting polluted. They must be preserved at any cost. In the past decades, in Kathmandu; the Bagmati and the Bishnumati were extremely polluted. They were no more rivers then; rather they seem to be drainages. But now, because of Bagmati cleaning campaign and programmes, they are clean in some extent. We can preserve such rivers by making drains along the banks of the rivers flowing near the cities. Green plants and trees should be planted near the banks of the rivers. The people who throw wastes in rivers should be discouraged and punished tightly.
In conclusion, the rivers in our country are the greatest gifts provided by the god. So, we should appropriately use them as much as we can but we should not pollute these rivers as they are very beneficial and useful in our day to day life. We should not throw any garbages, waste materials and dirts on the banks of the rivers. We have not utilized our rivers appropriately yet. We can be the richest people in the world if we utilize them properly without decreasing the natural quality of the water. We have to preserve them at any cost as they are extremely getting polluted. It is without any doubt sure that he rivers in our country Nepal are the fortune of the country.
