Water is the most important natural resource that Nepal possesses, although most of it is yet to be exploited. Nepal has more than 6,000 rivers with a combined run-off of about 200 billion cubic metres (BCM). If properly harnessed, this resource could make substantial contribution to the socio-economic development not only of the people of Nepal but also of millions of people living in the countries of South Asia, especially Bangladesh and India. The Ganga is the natural drainage of the water flowing from Nepal. The overall contribution of the rivers flowing from Nepal to this mighty river is 46 percent of its flow. During the lean season it is as high as 71 percent. The relationship in water resources between the two countries, i.e. Nepal and India, exits at both people-to-people and official levels. The people-to-people relationship has existed since time immemorial whereas the official level relationship based on available records, dates back by over 1010 years.
Pashupatinath on the banks of the Bagmati river, Barahachhetra on the banks of the Kosi river and Devighat on the banks of the Narayani River are some of the places of pilgrimage in Nepal for the people of India. Similarly the Ganges at Rishikesh, Haridwar and Prayag (Allahabad) and Gangotri and Yamunotri are some of the pilgrimage sites in India for the people of Nepal. The people of both countries reverse these rivers. They believe that they can meet their life time ambition once they take a dip in the water of these holy rivers, although at present once could question the quality of the water. Jagat Mehta, former foreign secretary of India, rightly says, 'Nepalese even aspire to die on the banks of the Ganga.'
Questions:
a)       If properly harnessed, what could be the role of rivers of Nepal?
b)       What are the places of pilgrimage in Nepal for the people of India?
