The Rivers in Nepal

           A tiny mountainous country Nepal is rich in water resources. Although Nepal is a landlocked country, it is second richest country in water resources among the whole world.some of them are the rushing torrents,tranquil lakes,splashing rivers, unique springs and underground water resources.Among them, the rivers play the most important role in Nepal.Most of them rise from big lakes or mountains. They flow through mountains, rocks and plains.

        The major rivers in nepal are Mechi, Koshi, Bagmati, Narayani, gandaki, karnali, mahakali and others.The koshi in the eastern part of nepal is the largest, the narayani is the deepest and the karnali is the longest rivers in Nepal . The amount of the water in all the rivers during dry seasons slightly decreases but in the rainy season, it gets increased.each big river has several tributaries.

          Each river in Nepal plays a vital role in the development of the country. We have produced hydro-electricity in many places using the water of the rivers. Similarly, they are very important  to irrigate our farms.The water of them can be used for cooking, drinking and washing.They are also useful for transportation  and entertainment.Nowadays, many people enjoy rafting in our rivers.they are also the regional boundaries for political and administration purposes.

          Especially the rivers which flow through or near the cities are getting polluted.they  must be preserved. Nowadays, the Bagmati and the Bishnumati. In kathmandu have been extremely polluted. They are no more rivers now; rather they seem to be drainages. We can preserve such rivers by making drains along the banks of them. We should not throw any garbages and dirts on their banks. It can be said that rivers in Nepal are the fortune of the country and countrymen.
