SWELLING RIVERS AND EROSION- NEPAL

Spur of Gandak dam has suffered a huge damage followed by erosion brought about by swollen Narayani River in Nawalparasi District, west Nepal. Rivers flowing through the buffer zone in Chitwan National Park have eroded around 100 hectares of land. For the damage incurred, the park authority will provide a cash compensation of NRS 25 million to the affected families. Similarly, after erosion near Banbasa Bridge, rising water level in Mahakali River in west Nepal has put several villages at risk of flooding.
