what are the problems of development electricity in Nepal? Mention four point
Answers
ANSWER:
Nepal has high potential for hydropower due to glaciers in the Himalayas, regular monsoon rain and local topography. Himalayan Rivers contain large quantities of sediment with hard abrasive particles, which is a hurdle for the economic exploitation of hydropower resources.

Explanation:
The Khimti hydropower project in Nepal represents a typical high head power plant in the Himalayan River that is affected by river sediment. Erosion tests of turbine material carried out at Kathmandu University revealed the dependence of erosion rate on mineral content. The erosion tests have shown trends relative to the quartz content present in samples from river basins in different parts of the country. There was some indication that the shape of particles had some effect. Sediments in the hydropower projects are normally considered as a burden, but there is scope for industrial use of these sediments.
