The Rivers In Nepal

Nepal is the second largest country after Brazil in water resources. There are thousands of rivers in the country. Most of the big rivers originate from the Mountain and Middle Hill. The rivers originating from the Mountain such as Arun, Tamakoshi, Kaligandaki, Karnali, and so on, are snow fed rivers.These are perennial rivers.
The flow of water in the river originating from the Middle Hill decreases during winter. The river originating from the Churiya are non-perennial so that dry up in the winter season.There are three most important river systerms in Nepal such as Koshi, Gandaki and Karnali. Koshi is the longest river of Nepal. It has seven tributaries namely Arun, Sunkoshi,Tamakoshi, Likhu , Dudhkoshi, Indrawati and Tamor that drain the eastern region of the country.
Gandaki flows in the central part of the country. Similarly, Karnali flows in the western part of the country. Besides these main rivers, there are many important rivers of second and third order.

Mountains , rivers and occasions form a combined trinity and unity. Rivers do have their origins in mountains as a result of melting of ice. And every river's final home is the sea. Rivers are nature's blessed gift to the earth.
There are many rivers in our country. Among them, Gandaki, Koshi, Marsyandi, Trisuli, Bagmati, Bishunumati, Narayani, Karnali are some of the important ones. Our rivers are all holy. Our Bagmati, Bishnumati, Gandaki, Narayani etc. all are sacred to us.
River feed not only our land and plants but also our mills and factory. That is , river water can be turned into a new power called electricity and this , in turn, helps our trade and industry. In the country like Nepal, it is of great importance. Majority of Nepalese people still has to rely on oil lamps and candles. In this case, such rural people can be highly benefited if electricity is generated. Nepal government should give proper attention to this reality. River must be used for irrigation and generation of electricity. The country has to allo
t sufficient budget for the such purposes. If done so, plenty of crops can be grown and money can be earned by selling electricity in neighbouring countries.
