If you pump casually, you will pump forever. Pump hard to begin with and keep it up until you get that water flowing. Then a great deal will happen.
Fuel wood
Bio mass Fossil Fuel hydropower
Solution to power?
Water Power
Hydropower potential
Nepal's storage potential is estimated at 88 billion cu.m. Theoretical power potential is approximately 83,000 MW( Dr. Hari Man Shrestha) More recent estimation:52000 MW (IOE Theseus) Economically feasible potential : 43,000 MW Power harnessed: 718MW

We need power.....
WHY HYDROPOWER?
Energy sources
Traditional Energy
Wood, animal dung, agricultural-waste etc.
Commercial Energy
Fossil Fuel, Electricity etc. Alternate Energy sources Bio-gas, Solar panel, Wind etc.
Features of Hydropower
Clean and renewable Energy Cheap Energy Easy to control High efficiency
A green energy
Hoover Dam
First great achievement was in the form of Hoover dam constructed across the Colorado river in Black canyon of Arizona Constructed between 1931 and 1936 was the largest structure to be built then with still untested construction techniques Concrete thick arch structure 726.4 ft. high 1244 ft. long 660ft. Thick at base and 45 ft. at top Storage capacity 30,500,000 acre feet Power generation 2.8 million kilowatts
Geological factors Availability of Tenchnolgy Research Sound political and policy making
Constraints in Nepal
Geological difficulty Technological complications Young geology Low capital investments/ poor economy Political instability
Political
Decade-long conflict between the government and Maoists Obstruction in the construction of new hydroelectric power plants No proper policy to attract private sectors Butans 20 year hydro-power master plan Failure of our tenth five year plan
Political
If we have a look at the periodic development:
Capacity MW Target
Success (%)
Till 1991 8th Plan (1992/1997) 9th Plan (1997/02) 10th Plan (2002/07) Interim Plan (2007/10)
Technical
No proper manpower and brain drain Lack of test labs and modern equipment Proficient construction company Reliance on foreign consultancies
Ongoing Projects
Contractor confliction Political instability Petroleum price inflation Corruption Technical
Post Project
Siltation Power grid Power theft Timely maintenance Technical
