Nepal main rivers and watersheds


Nepal is the second largest country after Brazil in water resources. There are thousands of rivers in the country. Most of the big rivers originate from the mountain and middle hill. The ricers originating from the mountain such as arun , tamakoshi , kaligandaki , karnali and so on, are snow fed rivers . these are perennial rivers .the flow water in the river originating from the middle hill decreases during winter .the rivers originating from the churiya are non-perennial so that sry up in the winter season .
There are three most important rivers systems in Nepal such as koshi ,gandaki and karnali , koshi is the longest rives of Nepal .it has sevefn tributaries namely arun sunkoshi , tamakoshi ,likhu ,dudhkoshi , indrawati and tanro that drain the eastern region of the country .

Nepal soil types

There are different types of soil in Nepal. Various factors such as geology, climate and vegetation types have resulted in variations in soil properties. There is very limited research about soils in Nepal. So far, soils of Nepal can be divided into six broad types such as alluvial soil, sandy gravel soil, lacustrine soil, rucky soil and mountain soil. Alluvial soil in tarai and in river basins. It is formed by the materials deposited by rivers and it’s very fertile. The sandy gravel and gravel soil are found in churiya where gravel and conglomerate are predominately found. This is not fertile soil. There are various types of soil in the middle hill. But rocky soil is predominant. The lacustrine soil is found in the Kathmandu valley. It is formed by the deposited materials in the lake hence, it is fertile. The mountain soil is formed by where boulders, sands and stone brought by glacier are found. It is also not fertile soil.

Nepal physiography

Physiography refers to the study of surface landform characteristics. Physiography of Nepal has been mainly divided on the basis of river, relief, structure altitude and geographical distribution. Resulted in distinct landform and topography. For the sake of convenience, the physiography of Nepal is divided as high himal, High Mountain, middle mountain, siwalik and tarai from north to south. The tarai is the flat land below 300m elevation formed by alluvial deposition. The siwalik, churiya, lies just above tarai. It ranges from 300-900 meter elevation in general. It is formed with conglomerates.
The middle mountain or the mahabharat extends widely just immediately after the siwalik. It lies between 900 to 3000 meters elevation. It has sprus, hills, river basins and valley, the arun vallley, Kathmandu valley, pokhara valley, tumlingtar, rumjatar, and salyantar lie in this belt. The high mountain also has steep and dissected landforms. The high himals is in the noethernmost part where hundreds of mountain peaks are founds.

Nepal geo –political division


Nepal his diverse and unique geo-ecopolitical and ago-political setting .this unique age – political division mainly follows the physical setting of the country geo – politically, the country is divided as the mountain districts and the tarai districts. Out of 75 districts, 16 are mountain districts that are located in the northern part of the country these districts cover 35 percent area. These districts are remote and marginal in terms of linkage and agriculturation production. However, these districts have very beautiful land space and various natural resources. There are 39 districts in the hill region that cover 42 percent area of the country. This belt ranges from 600 to 3000 meters elevation. Various groups of people and different types of economic activities are found in this region. This region is most diverse in terms of its physical, social, economical and cultural characteristics.
The tarai region has below 600m elevation. There are 20 districts that cover 23 percent area of the country.
This is the extensive flat land formed by the alluvial deposit and thus very fertile.

Global wind patterns and pressure belts


The surface winds of each hemisphere are divide into  three wind belts: (a) polar easterlies- from 600to 900 latitude; (b) westerlies- from 300 to 600 latitude; and (c) trade winds- from 00 to 300 latitude.
The earth’s atmosphere is put into motion because of the different heating of the earth surface. Tropics receive more heat than the poles. Exfess heat in the tropics is transported to higher latitude by winds and ocean currents. High and low pressure centers low pressure centers exits In approximately every 300 latitude.
