There is good news coming from Irrigation Ministry.They are now going to implement seven different diversion project in the country for the purpose of providing irrigation,drinking water,electricity production.The projects are:
1. Tamor-Morang Diversion project.
2. Sunkoshi-kamala Diversion project.
3. sunkoshi-marin bagmati Diversion project.
4. Trishuli-shaktikhor chitwan Diversion project.
5. Kaligandaki-Tinau Diversion Project.
6. West Seti-Kailali Diversion Project.
7. Bheri-Babai Diversion Project
sunkoshi-kamala and sinkoshi-marin bagmati will significantly reduce the size of sunkoshi river ultimately the koshi river, making it easier to tame and providing irrigation to lot more land in central part of the country. The Bheri-Babai is a multipurpose project with an integrated system of producing electricity as well. An estimated 45 MW of energy could be generated from this project. Beside these kaligandaki-tinau will significantly reduce the drinking water problem in Butwal.The Ministry has decided to implement drop water irrigation project in hilly regions. its always great when a country is taking a bold steps in development.The two sunkoshi diversion and tamor-morang will help in shrinking the size of koshi river and the so called need of high dam project. Due to our country's interest koshi high dam mustn't be implemented and i think nepal must not extend its aggrement with india over koshi project.There is nothing that nepal could gain beside flood. Our natural resources are being exploited in the name of building the dam and continous till today. Government should come with different plan to irrigate sunsari,morang,siraha,saptari district.
