Practice of Low-Cost River Training Works on the Bank of Mohana River in Kailari Rural Municipality, Nepal

Abstract

Purpose: Kailali, the district that lies in the Far-west of Nepal witness the sever flood and the damage caused by it annually. This study helped us to assess the practice and impact of low-cost River training works in Mohana River of Kailari Rural Municipality to prevent flood control. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study was conducted during the period from March 2022 to May 2023. Field observation, in-depth interview, focus group discussion and questionnaire survey were the major tool applied for the investigation. Findings/Results: The major effect related to river encroachment was land inundation. Further, it was seen that the local people preferred the low-cost river protection works done by utilizing local resources such as bamboo. They believe this technology is easy to execute, cheaper and can be constructed quickly during the time of emergency. During study it was also found that there are government and other non-government agencies supporting to these low-cost techniques for riverbank protections. Originality/Value: The study would like to suggest that the low-cost river protection works should be identified by the government at different level and promote these kinds of nature-based technologies that use local resources. Paper Type: Causal-comparative Research
