होइन यो मुजिले कति बन्द गर्छ ?

जैले बन्द जैले बन्द
यो जाठाको माघ चै के रैछ ?
जैले जनतालाई दुख दिने
सबै कलेग ,स्कुल बन्द हुन्छन
कल कारखाना सब बन्द
मान्छेको रोजी रोटि छिन्ने आधिकार
यो पातकलाई कसले दियो ?
एक दिन बन्द हुदा देशलाई कति घाटा लाग्छ
भन्ने कुरा यो पशुलाई थाहा छ कि छैन ?

फेरि बन्द नि उत्पात हुदैन
बन्द भन्द्यो , अनि ल्याम बन्द
आधि गाडी चल्या छ , आधि चल्या छैन
कहिँ आगजनी गर्द्या छ
तेस्को बाउले किन्द्या जस्तो
अति गर्नु आत्याचार नगर्नु
साला भाडाका टट्टुहरु  ऊस्तै
२ लिटर पेट्रोल र एक दिनको  भत्ताका लागि
ज्यान दिएर बन्द गर्न हिड्या छन्
यस्तो पाराले घण्टा बन्छ देश
भएन यार यो त अती भो
साला चोरै चोरको देश !!!

जादा जादै प्रधानमन्त्रिले संसदमा भनेका १० प्रमुख कुराहरु

Overwhelming support to Dr. KC !!

The target of 10000 nearly reached in mass rally for the solidarity to Dr. Govinda KC. He has been in Aansan for 14 days to this date. The rally was organized to show the support for Dr. Govinda KC which marched from Maitighar, went to New Baneshowr and ended there.
Bibeksheel Nepali Party, Nata Shakti Party, IOE students, IOM students etc were the main organization involved in the rally with huge mass of people.
Huge number of police force were deployed to make the rally peaceful. And indeed it went very good without any disputes, fights and accidents.
Bibeksheel Nepali  has also deployed numbers of Volunteers for making this rally successful.

Personally I felt glad to be part of rally and support Dr. KC for the issue that he has raised. We all should support him and raise our voice for the change and our future.
Love and regards to all !!

Some of the highlights of the rally:

पुनर्निर्माण कहाँ पुग्यो सरकार ??

न त सरकारलाई चासो छ 
न त आम जनतालाई चासो छ
 न त पत्रकारलाई चासो छ
 न संघ सस्थालाई चासो छ
हामी सब गुमनाम छौ
यो बर्सामा भिजेर रात काट्ने हरुलाई थाहा छ
दुख अनि  पिडा को अर्थ
हे, देश बनाऊछु भन्ने हरु हो
जाऊ ति भत्किएका समाजमा जाऊ
जाऊ ति पालका महलहरुमा जाऊ
जाऊ ति टुक्रिएका मनमा जाऊ
अनि बुज देशको हालत
देशको समस्या , देशको परिभेश।

भिन्न छ बिलकुल भिन्न
तिमीले सोचेको र बुजेको भन्दा भिन्न
थाकेको छ , आशामा छ
केहि पर्खिरहेको छ
अब धेरै पर्खने हिम्मत छैन
जाऊ अनि त्यो प्यास मेटाउ
अनि एउटा बाटो देखाइदेउ
गास,बास र कपासको बाटो
अनि तिमीलाई पुज्ने छन् भगवान सरि
नाच्ने छन् , गाउने छन् तिम्रो महिमा
जाऊ अब ढिला नगर 
जाऊ !!!

डा. गोविन्द के सी ले ऊठाउनु भएको मागहरु एति जटिल छन् कि ति अनसन बसेर पुरा हुनै सक्दैन !!

डा. गोविन्द के सी  ले ऊठाउनु भएको मागहरु एति जटिल छन् कि ति अनसन बसेर पुरा हुनै सक्दैन !!
एसकालागि राजनीति बदलिनुपर्छ, राजनैतिक दलहरु अनि दलका भ्रष्ट नेताहरु बदलिनु पर्छ।
त्यो भन्दा ठुलो कुरो हामी जनता (नेताका पुजारी) र हाम्रो सोच बदलिनु पर्छ।  जब सम्म हामी यीनलाई सत्तामा पुराईरहनछौ तब सम्म न देश बन्ने छ न त  भ्रष्टचार नै  रोकिनेछ चाए त्यो चिकिस्तामा होस्, सरकारी सेवामा होस् या देशका कुनै पनि विकासका योजनामा होस्।
यो आन्दोलन ले जनतालाई झकझकाउने काम भने अवश्य गरेको छ।
यो एक युगको आन्दोलन भएका ले येस्मा धेरै समय लाग्न सक्छ।  यस परिबर्तनका लागि एक ब्येक्ति को ज्यान खतरामा पार्नु ऊचित नहोला।
त्येसैले के सी ज्यु ले अनसन फिर्ता लिएर राजनैतिक र न्यायीक बाटो लाग्दा राम्रै होला।

Why is pipeline necessary for gas and petroleum transport ? Why particularly pipeline ?

Why in pipeline ???

Whole world is linking with pipeline network i.e. either gas or petroleum or water or anything. Environmentalist has been advocating for its negative consequences though the network is growing day by day.
Construction of Petroleum pipeline in Nepal isn't as easy as it is said. It needs a lot of study, lots of money and new technologies. Pipeline can be brought from either India or China in our country. Before thinking about importing the oils and gas, we must search the possibility of gas and petroleum in our own land. If we can find the oil and gas in our own land then the half work is done. We can purify it and construct pipeline linking different parts of the country.

Yes, its hard and complicated initially but there are maximum benefits for long run. This project has multi dimensional importance.Pipeline construction in OUR country doesn't only mean constructing pipeline it has many direct and indirect advantages.

-Construction of a biggest ever project in Nepal
-will be even greater than karnali hydro-power as a scope
-jobs,economy,industries,equipment and more
-price reduction (my initial analysis)
-development of factories and industries
-petroleum pipelines can be used for other transportation like even water
-its a network that connects all parts of nation
-Easy and fast excess

The demand increases as the time elapse. How long we carry petroleum in trucks traveling 2-3 days ??
Its like why pipeline of Melamchi ???
Why not bringing the water in trucks and distributing in Kathmandu ??

Only one answer for Melamchi to be brought in pipeline is its free, that's from our own resources.
So, my question to this is, why don't we study the possibility of the sources of gas and petroleum in our own country. How far we have reached in this regard ??
It is necessary for present and future. Hydro power might be the solution but it cannot cover all the energy uses for few centuries to come. So this project must be built in our country, may be with or without the maximum investment in it !!

A step towards resilient society: Awarness Campaign

"Our society is resilient when we become able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions."

We (Ganesh, Manish and Apil), the students of Khwopa College of Engineering has been conducting the presentation campaign in and outside of the college with a theme "A step toward resilient Society". Its an awareness campaign which introduce about the hazards and its aspects, the present scenario of our country, the understanding and the preparedness of the society, ways of reducing risk (DDR) and involvement of students, youths, society and government in disaster risk reduction. It mainly aims in participating youths in those activities from present and prepare them for future for making our society resilient.
Nepal is affected by different hazards in some regular intervals. Earthquake, floods, landslide, rockfall, GLOF etc. are the major hazard which are of high potential in our country. These can seriously disrupt the functioning of the society directly or indirectly and an individual or society cannot cope with it. Then they become the disasters.

Ganesh, Starting the presentation.

So, Why aren't we able to cope with them ?
Its because our society is not resilient. So, we want a society where we will be able to solve the problems by the maximum use of its resources. For this, we should act at present and bring the output in future. And that's what we are trying to do.

Frequently asked questions

1) What's your presentation about ?
The presentation aims two things. First is to introduce the different hazards with some examples and second is to clear out the misconception that we are having from our childhood.
Different hazards like Earthquake, flood, landslide, GLOF etc. are introduced and some examples of them are shown to make students well known about the scale and extent of its damage in the society.
Students are taught from school level that the above mentioned hazards are the natural disasters. And the main aim of the campaign is to change this misconception that they are not the natural disasters. No, they aren't. Its we(society) who make those hazards the disasters.

YES, Rooftop Rainwater is not sufficient !!

"Water collected from rooftop is not sufficient !!! "

We have been searching the ideas and technologies of easy and efficient rainwater harvesting. But our initial calculation has showed that rainwater harvested from the roof for a house is not sufficient for 12 months. The demand of water per house is so high that the water collected from the roof is insufficient even on the days of monsoon.
Our calculation showed that the demand of a single month(July) is met by the harvested rainwater and water collected of three months of rainy season are very near to the demand.
So, this is the major reason why people don't show interest in installing the rainwater harvesting system in a modern houses. People simply ignore because they know it's not sufficient. So, they install medium sized solar(water) instead of rainwater harvesting system.

Is rainwater harvesting expensive ?
Its not. There are no such expensive thing to be installed in this system. Filter might take some space. It biological sand filter, so its not costly.
In recent building the rooftop water is directly connected to the drainage. So its a bit hard to install this system in pre-existing building. Also the plumbers are not well trained about the system and the techniques of rainwater harvesting.

So, what should be done ?
Yes, rainwater is not sufficient for every months but if we see it for long term its very useful. Its for lifetime and every year we can collect a lot of water saving some good amount of money. For this people should be aware of its importance for long term. Now a days every new house are designed with an underground water so its very easy to collect the rooftop water. Just connect the collected water to the underground storage by introducing a bio-sand filter as a filter media.
For the old buildings the rooftop water should be separated from the drainage connection and should be connected to the storage (either underground or plastics tanks on the ground floor).

Bio-sand filter

Concluding the insufficiency of rainwater, yes, its true, but for long term its beneficial. And this insufficiency of rooftop rainwater harvesting demands another technique of rainwater harvesting called Surface Runoff Rainwater Harvesting. And believe me this technique is going to solve many things like:

• the problem of water crisis, 
• drainage problem, 
• submergence problem of Kathmandu and 
• floods in rivers.

What is surface runoff rainwater harvesting ? How its going to solve the problem listed ? (Next post)

Irrigation Tour 2073, 070 Batch - Summary

We, 070 batch of Khwopa College of Engineering went to 4 days Irrigation tour starting from 14th to 19th of Ashad, 2073. All the 96 students along with 5 faculty members were present in the tour which aimed to visit Bagmati Irrigation Project, Khagari Irrigation Project and Narayani Lift Irrigation Project. Hetauda Cement Factory was also visited as a bonus in this tour.

FIRST DAY
We started from the college. Four buses were manged for  around 100 people which was more than comfortable. Banepa- bardibas highway was selected as going route. So, we travelled in this newly made highway upto Bardibas. Though the highway was small we reached the destiny with ease and fun. Also, there were a lot of engineering used in linking this highway from hills to terai. We felt lucky to see hair pin bends, reinforced wall, gabbion wall and many drainage structures along the highway. We had started at around 8 Am in the morining, had lunnch at 12 PM in Nepalthok and reached Bardibas at around 3 PM.
After we reached to Bardibas, we directly headed towards Bagmati Irrigation Project, head office. It was already 5 PM reaching there. So, teachers had to convince the officers to allow us for Headwork observation. Finally we were allowed though it was late and getting dark.

Summary of Headwork: Bagmati Irrigation Project

Location: Karmaiya, Sarlahi
Start-Completion: June 2008-June 2010
District Faciliated: Sarlahi by eastern canal head and Rautahat by western canal head
Weir/Barriage portion: Barriage type
Major Components: Dividewall ( eastern and western), Fishladder (Eastern and Western), Barriage gates(15 for eastern and 15 for western), Canal Head Regulator( 7 on eastern and 5 on western)


Components of head regulator

1) Guide banks

Plan view of Headwork, BIP

-On both side of the river
-More natural than man made
-Flood bypass is constructed on the right bank (flow direction)

2) Divide wall/fishladder
- One eastern and one on Western
- Extends around 20m upstream and 20m downstream
- Fishladder attached to both divide wall on downstream side
- High silting on fish ladder has disruptted its work
