  • The riverine communities’ problem has been impacted by the increasing natural disaster and hazard combing with the human induced disaster. The example includes the 2013 flood in Darchula where it damaged the Khalaga market place including loss of Kalagadh Micro Hydro project's powerhouse and its transformer, damaged Resource Centre of the District Education Office and mortuary of the District Hospital.
