Bhotekoshi Flood: The Warning That Came by Telephone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At twenty minutes to nine on the morning of 26 August, the automatic gauge on the Bhote Koshi at Rasuwagadhi, one kilometre below the Chinese border, reported that the river stood at 1.62 metres. That station's warning level is calibrated at six metres. Its danger level at seven. The reading was low, and it was falling. It was the last thing the station ever communicated. Before the next ten-minute transmission was due, it had been swept away. Ten minutes later Syaphrubesi went silent at 3.80 me
Mahakali-Pancheshwar :The Number Nobody Will Fix (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, the only gauge that measured the Mahakali where it matters stood about three hundred metres inside Nepal, a short walk from the border river's left bank. And for years, it was Indian officers who crossed the bridge to read it. Nepal kept no independent record of its own water. Hold that image. A country preparing to divide the flow of its border river - to claim its entitlement, its cost share, its national interest on the size of that flow - did not hold the measurements. The numbers
Mahakali Pancheshwar: The Paper Dam (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Where the Saryu falls into the Mahakali, on the river that carries the border, a small temple of Shiva gives the confluence its name: Pancheshwar. Indian surveyors first climbed to the gorge in the mid-1950s and saw, in the falling water, a wall 311 metres high and 4,800 megawatts of power - at that time to be one of the tallest dams on earth and the centrepiece of the 1996 Mahakali Treaty. Go there now. You will, too, see what the engineers saw in the 50s - the temple, the river, and nothing el
The Water Nepal Forgot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Open the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation’s Annual Development Programme for the current fiscal year and read its foreword. The energy targets arrive with the precision of a stock ticker: 942 megawatts to be added, taking installed capacity to 4,800 MW; transmission lines above 66 kV extended from 6,745 to 7,145 circuit-kilometres; electricity access rising from 97 to 97.5 percent; per-capita consumption from 420 to 470 kilowatt-hours; system losses trimmed to 12.84 percent.

Thirty-Two Departures No One Is Talking About (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On 16 April, three weeks after taking office, Nepal’s Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Biraj Bhakta Shrestha, issued a thirty-two-point directive to the ministry and the agencies under it. It earned a day of headlines and then vanished from public debate. When it resurfaced at the government’s hundred-day mark, commentators graded it like homework: the wheeling-charge deadline was missed (regulator leadership was only filled recently), and two bills sit at the Law Ministry aw
