Nepal is the second country of water resources in the world.

Nepal is a country located in South Asia, bordered by India to the south and China to the north. The country is known for its vast water resources, which play a significant role in the economy and daily life of its people. Here are some facts about water resources in Nepal.

Rivers, Nepal has more than 6,000 rivers, including some of the world's largest and most iconic rivers like the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Indus. The country is home to three major river systems: the Koshi, Gandaki, and Karnali.

Lakes: Nepal is also home to many high-altitude lakes, including Rara Lake, Shey Phoksundo Lake, and Tilicho Lake. These lakes are not only important for tourism but also for local communities who rely on them for fishing, irrigation, and drinking water.

Groundwater: Nepal has vast reserves of groundwater, which is an important source of water for domestic and agricultural use, particularly in areas where surface water is not available.

Hydroelectric power: Nepal has significant hydroelectric potential, with an estimated capacity of 83,000 MW. The country is already generating electricity from several large hydropower plants, and there are plans to build many more in the coming years.

Water scarcity: Despite having abundant water resources, many people in Nepal still struggle to access clean drinking water. The country faces significant challenges related to water scarcity, particularly in rural areas, and climate change is exacerbating the problem.

Overall, water resources are a vital part of Nepal's economy and society, and the government is working to manage and protect these resources for the benefit of its people.
