Drip water Irrigation Nepal

"Less than half of Nepal's arable land is irrigated, the rest depends on erratic rains. Lack of investment in irrigation and the shortage of water in the dry season have hindered the spread of irrigation schemes in districts like Bhojpur and the arid areas of western Nepal."

"Madan Gopali invested Rs 25,000 to get the drip system in his field and is waiting for the next harvest to see the results. Says Gopali: "Water is scarce here. With this system I can irrigate the field year round. If I get three yields a year, I will recover my investment in two years." (Source: Nepali times)
