Second Highest Hydro-Resource Country Or Not?
Wednesday, February 28, 2007
Nepal also holds the title of the second highest hydro-resource country. Nepal is considered as Himalayan country as there are lots of Himalayan ranges and mountains such as Mount Everest, Dhaulagiri, Lamtang, Machhepuchre, and lots more. It also has hilly region and terai region as well.
So with all these resource it has lots of hydropower. Well I don’t know whether to say if we got it or not, as we have load-shedding going on throughout the year. We do have lots of resources but the government is so poor that it has not find the way to install enough hydroelectricity power plants. It is such a shameful and surprising thing that we don’t even have enough of electricity being the second country for the water resources. The winter goes like a disastrous time. Cold and freezing mornings and chilly evening are just the feelings we have even staying inside our houses, as we don’t have heat and power due to lack of electricity. Few months back, they had load-shedding of nearly 6 hours a day. Me, even being a young man of my age, find the weather to be intolerably cold and chilly. I just cannot imagine and wonder how the old people were able to survive the cold and chilly nights. I also wonder what would have happened to the children who are forced to read in dim emergency lights. What kind of effect would they have to their eyes and their health due to this scarcity of electricity? What would the people do who cannot afford electricity backup but have to work during those hours? Our government still has published news stating the load-shedding will still be in act in years to come.
Not only the electricity problem, we do have drinking water problems as well. We have to wake up at 1-2 o’clock at night in order to fill up our tanks with drinking water. Well that too if you have water coming out of your tap, because most of the people do have the tap but the water never comes out of it, only air does. It sounds funny but that is the truth. There are some areas where the water never reaches. Government have made some effort in providing water to those areas by sending mobile water tanks and providing drinking water or you may say undrinkable water, as the water contains so much of foreign bodies that you don’t even find it good enough to wash your face.
Just wondering and thinking of these problems, I just wonder if we really are the world’s second highest hydro-resource country. I feel like if even we hold that title, they should reconsider and take back the title of being the second highest hydro-resource country.
