DAM WEAKENED BY FLOOD- NEPAL



The dam of 10 MW, Sunkoshi Hydropower Project at Sindhupalchowk, central Nepal is in danger of collapsing due to damage caused by last month’s landslide and flood. Four out of its six gates have been obstructed by stones and sand and there is probability of further damage if water continues to flow through the dam. Electricity generation at present is completely terminated but there is probability of resuming in a years’ time if the dam does not suffer further.
