A large natural stream of water flowing in a channel is called a river. Some rivers are formed by rivuletes running down the mountainside. The rivers of Nepal such as the Koshi have their sources in the Himalayas.
The rivers of Nepal serve several purposes. We get hydroelectricity from them. Our country is rich and well known in water resources. Hence, we can generate sufficient amount of electricity that can be used for our all round development. Many tourists are attaracted to our country because of our rushing rivers. They love rafting along a rushing river like the Trishuli.
Because of reckless use, our rivers are being polluted day by day. In large cities like kathmandu garbage as well as sewage are disposed in the Bagmati river. Dead bodies of bigger animals badly pollute the rivers. As a result of such pollution several diseases break out in the area.
We can best utilze our rives by making more and more hydro-electricifty projects. We should plant many more trees on either side of a river in order to protect it. Public awarness should be raised against pollution. It is our rivers that can change our destiny in years to come.
