Development projects in Nepal

The priority river basins flood risk management project will improve the resilience of communities to flooding in six river basins in the Terai region in Nepal. It is in line with Nepal's National Water Plan, 2002-2027 to reduce social and economic losses from water-induced disasters through blending structural and nonstructural measures. The project will protect agricultural land and households in priority areas from a 1-in-50-year return period flood by constructing flood embankments, spurs, and outlet structures. The local response to flooding will be strengthened through the development installation of flood forecasting and early warning systems (FFEWSs) and community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM).

The project will develop or improve small-scale irrigation systems in 12 districts in Nepal through a community-driven process targeted at the poor, women, and other disadvantaged groups. Small irrigation systems are defined as systems with less than 25 hectares of irrigation area in the hills and mountains and less than 200 hectares in the Terai plains. The participating districts were selected because of their high poverty, food insecurity and irrigation potential. They are Kanchanpur, Kailali, Dang, Kapilvastu in the Terai plains; Doti, Salyan, Rukum, Rolpa, Pyuthan in the hills; and Bajhang, Jumla, Mugu in the mountains. As the first large-scale intervention in small irrigation development in Nepal, the project will demonstrate participatory irrigation planning and management and build the capacity of all levels of the government for small-scale irrigation development. Farmers will form or strengthen existing water users associations (WUAs) to apply for project support. The project will provide support to rehabilitate and build new surface water irrigation schemes and to develop groundwater irrigation through shallow tube wells. It will also facilitate access to microfinance support and provide extension services. For farmers without access to electricity who are installing shallow tube wells, the project will connect them to the electricity network. WUAs will in turn learn to manage water more efficiently and equitably, maintain their systems, and apply improved agricultural practices.

The presence of arsenic in groundwater is a common problem affecting the quality of drinking water on the plateaus of Nepal. Using water containing arsenic as drinking water in cooking or irrigation may cause a plethora of health issues even cancer. In Nep al the work to reduce the levels of arsenic is fragmentary and lacking in cooperation and coordination between local officials. In addition knowledge about the health hazards of arsenic among the consumers of contaminated water is scarce.The Geological Sur vey of Finland (GTK) and the Finnish Environment Institute?s (SYKE) shared project will strengthen coordination the sharing of information and cooperation between agents in different fields who have for now worked in silos. The Department of Water Supply a nd Sewerage Management (DWSSM) whose responsibility is water quality will implement the Project as a partner organization.The immediate goal of the Project is to improve the partner organization?s capacity to guide and support stakeholders in the field of water management to prevent and reduce the prevalence and use of water contaminated by arsenic.The goal for the first output area is to strengthen the knowledge-based instruction of the DWSSM on diminishing of the presence of arsenic. This is attainable by enhancing the flow of information between different stakeholders developing effective processes for the handling of information as well as increasing the understanding of how geological conditions affect the quality of the water in Nepal. The second outpu t area focuses on the DWSSM?s ability to use and adapt geological and hydrogeological research regarding the arsenic problem in ground water as a base for decision making. The third output area is to improve their tracking of arsenic levels and the practic es of analysis of the data. Tighter cooperation and interaction between the DWSSM and stakeholders is also one of the output areas of the project. During the project a public communications plan on the arsenic issue will be developed for the department.
