GENERAL INFORMATION OF THE PROJECT
Location and access
Nalsing Gad Storage Hydroelectric Project is located in Jajarkot District in the mid western
development region of Nepal between Longitude 82014'00"E - 82019'72"E and Latitude
28047'28"N-28058'00"N. Nalsing Gad is a tributary of the Bheri River in the Karnali Basin.
The dam site of the project is located just downstrteam of the confluence of Adheri Khola which
is approximately 9.25 km upstream from the confluence of the Nalsing Gad and the Bheri-River
and the powerhouse is located on the left bank of Nalsing Gad River approximately 500 m
upstream from
the suspension bridge
at Dali.
Nalsing Gad Storage Hydroelectric project does not have all season motorable access till now.
District headquarters Khalanga which is about 16 km from proposed power house site has been
connected with the national road network by a I07 km long Chhinchhu-Jajarkot feeder road.
Presently this road has been extended upto Rimna village located on the right bank of Bheri
River. However, a bridge over Bheri River will be required to reach the Powerhouse site..
Apart from Chhinchhu- Jajarkot feeder road, Dolpa Rajmarg is also being constructed which
reaches upto Dunai along the proposed powerhouse of Nalsing Gad Hydropower Project.
Geology
Geologically; the project area lies in the Lesser Himalaya of mid-westem region of Nepal and
falls under the Lakharpata Formation, Ranimatta Formation and Kalikot Formation of Midland
Group (DMG, 1987). Dolomite and dolomitic limestone and phyllites are the dominant type of
rock present in the project area. At places white pink dolomitic limestones, purple and green
shales for the top algal structures and stromatolites are present.
The study of past records on seismicity also shows the project area is relatively safe considering
the earthquake and hasn't experienced a big earthquake since 1934. The project site is suggested
to be safe for the construction of hydropower project.
Hydrology
Nalsyau Gad River is one of the major tributaries of Thuli Bheri River and the river system of
Kamali River Basin. The main source of Nalsyau Gad River is the Chhyakhur Lek. The
catchment area of Nalsyau Gad River consists of mountain range having the altitudes from El.
4142to El.4780. These are the major source of snow melt run off on the basin. The total area of
Nalsyau Gad River basin up to intake site is 571.5 km2, in which, about 50 km2 is covered by
snow. Glacier lakes are not identified in this basin. The river flows almost north to;south. The
detail break down of catchment area is shown
in 4a^{\ 5\\t*2 =,/ ?+.

The average precipitation of the catchment area is found to be l718.69 mm with instantaneous
wind speed recommended to be 120 km/fu. The long term average annual flow and the long-
term average monthly flows from January to December were computed by regional analysis
using regression. The long term mean monthly flows of the river is shown in Table 1 above.

Flood analysis were carried out using frequency analysis based on flood data of Mari Khola at
DHM Station 330 as well as regional frequency analysis based on the regression equations for
the ungauged sites. As examination of the records and plots of the frequency distributions
showed that the Log-Pearson Type-III distribution provided the best estimates for regional flood
analysis.
ended Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) at the dam site is 44gg m3/s for the
of hydraulic structures whereas
itis
4842 mrls at the powerhouse site.
