Methane gas in Kathmandu valley is associated with ground water that exists in the lake sediment of the Kathmandu valley. Initial exploration was carried out with the assistance of Japanese International Co-operation Agency (JICA). DMG explored this gas in 26 sq. km area in Kathmandu valley and proved 316 million cubic meter methane gas deposit. The purpose was to assess the available reserve and the possibility to use it as an alternative energy.


feasibility study was conducted in 1996/97 by a private consultant. The study concludes that the use of methane gas is viable for both domestic and industrial purposes. Based on the above results, DMG had invited proposals 5 times from the potential investors to bid for the development and commercialization of the gas resources for the benefit of society. But so far no one has taken such initiative. It is available for the potential investors to develop and commercialize for the benefit of the people of Kathmandu valley. Recently two companies applied for the promotion of Kathmandu natural gas.

Agriculture in Nepal has long been based on subsistence farming, particularly in the hilly regions where peasants derive their living from fragmented plots of land cultivated in difficult conditions. Government programs to introduce irrigation facilities and fertilizers have proved inadequate, their delivery hampered by the mountainous terrain. Population increases and environmental degradation have ensured that the minimal gains in agricultural production, owing more to the extension of arable land than to improvements in farming practices, have been cancelled out. Once an exporter of rice, Nepal now has a food deficit.

Over 80 percent of the population is involved in agriculture, which constitutes 41 percent of GDP. The seasonal nature of farming leads to widespread underemployment, but programs to grow cash crops and encourage cottage industries have had some success over the years. Two-sevenths of the total land is cultivated, of which 1.5 million hectares produced 3.7 million metric tons of the staple crop of rice in 1999. Wheat and maize together take up a similar portion of the available land, with harvests of 1 million metric tons and 1.5 million metric tons, respectively, in 1999. Production of cash crops increased substantially in the 1970s, and sugarcane, oilseed, tobacco, and potatoes (a staple food in some areas) were the major crops. Agricultural production accounted for about three-fourths of total exports in the late 1980s. As noted earlier, most exports consist of primary agricultural produce which goes to India. In general the majority of Nepalese farmers are subsistence farmers and do not export surplus; this does not prevent a minority in the fertile southern Tarai region from being able to do so. Most of the country is mountainous, and there are pockets of food-deficit areas. The difficulties of transportation make it far easier to export across the border to India than to transport surplus to remote mountain regions within Nepal. A considerable livestock population of cattle, goats, and poultry exists, but the quality is poor and produces insufficient food for local needs.

Government efforts to boost the agricultural economy have focused on easing dependence on weather conditions, increasing productivity, and diversifying the range of crops for local consumption, export, and industrial inputs. Solutions have included the deployment of irrigation, chemical fertilizers, and improved seed varieties, together with credit provision, technical advice, and limited mechanization. This has had some effect. Land under irrigation increased from 6,200 hectares in 1956 to 583,000 hectares in 1990. The use of chemical fertilizers, introduced in the 1950s, climbed to about 47,000 metric tons by 1998. Still, the weather continues to determine good and bad years for the average farmer. On a national scale, while production of both food and cash crops grew annually by 2.4 percent from 1974 to 1989, population increased at a rate of 2.6 percent over the same period.

Increased agricultural activity has placed tremendous stress on the fragile ecosystems of the mountains, with severe deforestation leading to erosion and flooding that threatens the livelihoods of farmers throughout the country. In the rush to open up arable land in the early years of development, Nepal lost half its forest cover in the space of 3 decades. Government plans to maintain cover at 37 percent depend on the success of community forestry programs, which merge traditional and modern agro-forestry and conservation practices. Responsibility is placed in the hands of Forest User Groups, which included almost 800,000 households in 1999.

Government had reached at Barpark and Laprak of Gorkha districts with relief materials after the start of snowfall. In these current days, quake victims of Laprak and Barpark are fighting with snow for their life. The quake victims that have been staying under a tent as temporary settle are living very troublesome life because of cold.

People’s life of Barpark and Laprak are becoming very difficult from snowfall. as this news became public then only government started to distribute 4 thousand thaan tripal from Sunday at Laprak and Barpark area. Government distributed the tripals from Bhandaran lies in headquarter of Gorkha districts through the Nepal Army’s Helicopter

Quake victims that had lived their life bearing rainy season had never thought that they will have to spend this snowy season too facing lot of troubles but they had to live their life bearing lot of troubles in this snowy climate facing lots of troubles.

Home Minister Shakti Bahadur Basnet said in earlier too by the help of governmental and non-governmental organizations had done the distribution of warm clothes package in that sector of Gorkha but recently because of snowfall Laprak and Barpak area have been affected more. So he said, they have sent some group recently in that area for the distribution of relief materials.

It’s referred to as courageous guys’s Bridge for a motive. The recently finished span is a glass walkway suspended a belly-flipping a hundred and eighty meters (590 ft) above a sheer drop in China’s imperative Hunan Province.Haohan Qiao, as it’s recognised in chinese language, is the brand new in a series of glass-floored attractions to open in China and the relaxation of the world. no matter its terror-inducing appearance, its creators say the bridge inside the Shiniuzhai country wide Geological Park is perfectly safe.every of the glass panes is 24 millimeters thick and 25 instances more potent than ordinary glass.”The bridge we build will stand firm although tourists are jumping on it,” a worker who constructed the bridge instructed the kingdom-owned China information provider.”The metallic frame used to assist and encase the glass bridge is likewise very sturdy and densely constructed, so even if a tumbler is broken, tourists won’t fall thru.” Haohan Qiao turned into initially a wooden bridge before the park experimented via changing a small segment with glass in 2014. It decided to growth the thrill through revamping the complete overpass in advance this yr, making it China’s first all-glass suspension bridge. Hunan is because of open any other glass bridge later this yr inside the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon place, about three hundred kilometers (186 miles) northwest of Shiniuzhai. when completed, the Zhangjiajie shape might be the world’s maximum and longest glass bridge — 430 meters lengthy and 300 meters excessive. -

The Sidu bridge was created as part of China’s ever-expanding highway system, connecting two disparate parts of the country that were previously separated by difficult, mountainous terrain, and multiple rivers. The bridge spans just over 5,000 feet across the river valley and was so long that the builders had to use a rocket to string the first pilot line across the gap. The hefty length is supported by two massive, H-shaped towers, one at both ends of the road. The suspension lines dip in the middle and rise back up again, looking more than a little flimsy for such a massive span.

The competition for the world’s highest bridge. The current reigning champ is the Sidu River Bridge, which hangs over 1,600 vertigo-inducing feet above a canyon floor, connecting what amounts to two mountaintops.

Opened in 2009, the Sidu River Bridge (which crosses the titular river, as one might expect), beat out the previous record-holding span, the Hegigio Gorge Pipeline Bridge in Papua New Guinea, which is suspended just over 1,200 feet above the ground.

This is not to say that the bridge isn’t safe, as each of the massive, main suspension cables is capable of holding up over 43 million tons of weight, which should be more than adequate to support any number of vehicles that might want to make the trip across.
