Asia’s Richest Water Resources Country: Nepal

Sources of Water in Nepal

Since there are total 7 continents in the world. Asia is the largest of all. Today, we are talking about Asia’s Richest Water resources Country. There are total 195 countries in the whole world. Out of 195, 48 country lies in Asia. Nepal is the richest water resources country in the whole of Asia and the World’s second richest water resources country. Brazil is the First.

Still, Nepal is very rich in water source which is termed as "White Coal" but there are many problems which Nepal has to face they cannot properly utilize water sources. People are throwing waste and garbage in the river which makes it's polluted and another fact is Nepal rivers have the total capacity to generate 83000mw hydroelectricity but Nepal even cannot generate 1% of it.

Nepal is a landlocked country and it is also known as the world’s highest mountain Mount Everest with a height of 8848 meters, the birthplace of Gautam Budha and the world’s second freshwater resources country. There are about 6000 rivers in Nepal. Bagmati, Koshi, Mechi, Mahakali, Karnali, Gandaki and Narayani are the major rivers of the country, Nepal. Among these all Koshi is the largest, Narayani river is the deepest and Karnali is the longest. The popular Lakes in Nepal are Phewa Tal ( Tal means Lake in the Nepali language), Rupa Tal, Rara Tal, Mahendra Tal and Begnas Tal. There are numbers of brooks, Streams, and Springs in Nepal, which are countless.

As we know from above, Nepal is the second richest Fresh water source country in the world having Numbers of Lakes and Rivers and is the good location For fishing. There is total 239 number of species of fish found in the river of Nepal.

In term of Hydroelectricity, Nepal can produce enough Electricity To take the country in the way of Development. Hydroelectricity can play a vital role to Develop these countries. But, Nepal could not use their water resources properly.
In fact, there is no Developed in technology in these Country. Nepal lies in the Southern part of Asia and It is one of the underdeveloped parts of Asia.

People use to say that Nepal is the Second richest water sources in World. But,
According to most popular websites Like Wikipedia says that Nepal is not the Second
richest fresh water source country. Nepal ranks like 40 to 44 position in the whole world but
it is not proved 100%, Another Surprising Thing is that Google says that Nepal is Second.
So till it is not proved, I believe that Nepal is the second richest water source country and It
lies in Southern Asia.
  

Problems also having a place in second richest water source:

Although it is rich in the water source, Nepali people have to face the problem of the
Drinking water and think how it can progress in Hydro-Electricity. In villages of Nepal, people
have to walk for an hour for Drinking water. Another Fact is that the capital city of this
country, Kathmandu although have to face the problem of Drinking Water. The condition is
so worst that they have to buy the Jar of Drinking water from the shop.
As Nepal is rich in water source and it can generate enough Hydro-power for lighting the
whole country and took the country toward development.  But there is a major problem in
this country, load shedding. Load shedding in Nepal is still the main problem and in ruler
areas, there is not even Electricity facility.
