Item An evaluation on financial performance of Butwal Power Company and Himal Power Limited(Department of Management, 2011) Pokhrel, GeetaNot availableItem Foreign Direct Investment in Hydropower in Nepal after Economic Liberization(Department of Economics, 2015) Binadi, Tek RajRecently, Nepal is suffering from load shading problem due to the lack of enough electricity generation in the country. The main purpose of this thesis is to analyze the present situation of hydropower in Nepal and provide information to foreign investors about the investment opportunities in Nepal's hydropower sector. This research gives the detail information about electricity production scenario and also gives the detail information about the demand and supply situation of electricity in Nepal. This study also analyzed the investment opportunity in hydropower sector for foreign investors including investment policies and risks as well as the barriers of investment in hydropower of Nepal.To find out the opportunities and challenge of FDI in hydropower sector the deep study has been done by collecting relevant documents related to hydropower and relevant data produced by different institutions that are directly related to hydropower sectors and deep analysis has done to make the conclusion of the thesis. The major problems of not being able to generate enough hydroelectricity in Nepal found to be the lack of capital, lack of stable government and its working procedure, lack investment friendly environment and lack of political stability. The investment policyof Nepal found to be compatible for foreigner investors to invest in the country.This research concluded that there are very good opportunities for investors to invest in hydropower sector of Nepal. Finally, this study provides the basis for further researcher.Item Hydro-Meterological Study of Budhigandaki Storage Hydroelectric Project(Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, 2013) Sigdel, RajeshBudhigandaki storage hydroelectric project was first detected in 1974 A.D. by SMEC, following the study of the Gandaki River basin; Budhigandaki is one of the most favored due to its high potential and its location in Central Nepal near the main load center. Budhigandaki is a tributary of the Narayani originated from Lark Himal and Ladak Himal in Tibet. The total river length is about 188 km and the total basin area is about 5007 km 2 . Annual rainfall in the Arughat is 2614 mm. Statistical Analysis showed that the 24 hour maximum rainfall for 50 year and 100 year return periods are 160 mm and 173 mm respectively. There are three major flood disaster occurred in Budhigandaki River on 05 Mar 1968, 17 Jun 1968 and 02 Aug 1968. This was caused by LLOF at Lapubensi upstream of hydrological station no 445. The highest flood was 5210 m 3 /s recorded at hydrological station 445. A one-dimensional hydraulic model in HEC-RAS was developed and executed which enabled the analysis of flooding under different scenarios. Hydraulic models coupled with Geographic Information System are powerful tools for quantitative and qualitative monitoring of spatial and temporal variation of flows in the river. For purpose of Elevation-Area-Volume curve it shows the area of 32.87 km 2 .
