ETSC NEPAL

Makwanpur is one of the disaster prone districts in the country. In 2002 floods and landslides claimed 135 lives with enormous lost of land and property. Traditional slash and burn farming practiced by the community, illegal timber trade across the border, and forest fires have exacerbated soil erosion and deforestation. Disasters repeated themselves in various place of Makwanpur district due to the incessant heavy monsoon rainfall in the year 2003 and in the year of 2004, the floods and landslides clamed 23 lives and destroyed large amount of land and property again.
