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?
c) The relationship in water
resources between Nepal and India exits in two levels. What are they?
d) Mention five pilgrimage sites
on the banks of rivers in India for the people of Nepal.
