SPRN: SUSTAINABLE POVERTY REDUCTION NEPAL
Most of the community development works such as rural electrification, irrigation, school supports are now completed. Regular maintenance of this infrastructure is still continuing. However, fish monitoring, as part of Khimti river ecology study, is about to complete showing very positive results. Added to the fish monitoring is a project named Sustainable Poverty Reduction in Nepal (SPRN) a fish farming project that aims at carrying fish farming in the tail water of Khimti plant.
The project is aimed at entailing part of the fish mitigation work downstream of the Palati Intake and will compare the distribution and biology of fish species in river habitats with green hydropower production to that of rivers where migration is disturbed by diversion weir and develop and apply low cost techniques for production of important coldwater fish species in the tail water of Khimti for poverty alleviation of local areas.
