What is this?
Completing stalled irrigation projects to bring year-round water supply to agricultural land, enabling multiple cropping seasons and higher productivity.
Impact on people
Farmers can grow crops year-round instead of depending on monsoon rains. Agricultural productivity doubles. Rural incomes rise. Food security improves. Migration decreases.
Why it matters
Only 30% of Nepal's agricultural land has year-round irrigation. The rest depends on monsoons. Billions have been spent on irrigation projects that remain incomplete.
