Nepal: Geology and Geography

The landslide is located at Lamuni-Danpur area, Purchaudi Municipality-8 of Baitadi District, Sudurpaschim Province. The Lamuni-Danpur landslide covers about 0.8 sq.km as traced on recent google image. Three villages, Lamuni on east, Danpur on west and Tudet on north are affected due to landslide. As per locals, the landslide is more than 100 years old. About 110 houses have been shifted till now along with loss of cultivable land. The landslide covers forest area of two community forests, Gopeswor Community Forest, Lamuni and Devsthal Community Forest, Danpur. Kedar temple lies about 90m away from the south west part of the landslide. Presently, the landslide is extending toward the Lamuni Village. Some crown cracks has been developed Nearby Lamuni Village. The people residing there are posing great threat of landslide. The lithology within landslide was dominated by light grey to green phyllite with some quartzite and schist. The Phyllite Unit is overlain by Quartzite and Schist Un...

  The prospect of Mineral resource in Nepal is mainly controlled by Geology of Nepal . Based on the tectonic divisions of Nepal, the potential for mineral resources is as follows: ·        Terai Plain (Indo Gangetic plain) area is potential for gravel, sand, ground water, and underlying petroleum and natural gas bearing Siwalik and Pre-Siwalik rocks. ·        The Sub Himalaya (Siwalik/ Churia Range including Dune Valleys) is the potential area for construction materials, radioactive minerals, petroleum, natural gas and minor amount of low grade coal. ·        The Lesser Himalaya (Mahabharat Range including Midland/ Valleys) is promising for metallic minerals mainly iron, copper, lead, zinc, cobalt, nickel, tin, tungsten, molybdenum, gold, uranium rare metals, industrial minerals like magnesite, limestone, dolomite, talc, phosphorite, bauxite, clay, kaolin, graphite, mica, quartz, s...

 Download    Download  Download . DIPS is a stereographic projection software used primarily in geotechnical engineering and geosciences for the analysis and presentation of orientation-based data. It is widely used to interpret and visualize structural data, such as joints, faults, and bedding planes, in rock formations. It is developed by Rocscience . Key features of DIPS include: Stereographic Projections : The software allows users to plot geological data on stereonets for detailed structural analysis. Orientation Analysis : It facilitates the analysis and presentation of orientation-based data such as the dip and strike of planes and the trends and plunges of lineations. Visualization Tools : DIPS provides visualization of vectors, density contours, plane intersections, and traverses, making it easier to interpret geological structures. Geotechnical Applications : It's particularly useful in projects involving slope stability, tunnel design, rock mechanics, and...

  #RightToRejectin2084   #WeWantRightToRejectin2084 देशमा चालू खर्च चुलिदो छ। चालू खर्च  र वित्तीय व्यवस्थापनको बोझ दिनानुदिन बढ्दा हालै ल्याईएको आ व ०८१/८२ को बजेट पुजिगत खर्चको हिस्सा १९% प्रतिशत भन्दा कम देखिन्छ। समयक्रम सगै विकासका लागि झन् ठुला र महत्वकान्छी योजनाको माग बढीरहदा यस्को स्रओत कहावाट जुटाउने भन्ने समस्या देखीन थालेको छ।  सरकारको अपेक्षीत राजश्व संकलनले चालु खर्च नै मुस्कीलले धान्ने अवश्थामा विकाश वजेटको व्यवस्थापन नै अहिलेको मुख्य चुनौति रहेको छ। चालु खर्च काम गर्नका लागी अनेको प्रयासहरु गरिएका पनि छन। सरकारले विभीन्न समयमा विभिन्न सरकारी निकायहरु गाभ्ने तथा खारेज गर्ने घोषणा पनि गरेको छ तर तिनको कार्यान्वयन प्रभावकारी रुपमा हुन सकेको छैन। यस्तै अनेकन प्रयास र चर्चा परिचर्चामा रहेको कुराको सेनाको संख्या। सेनाको संख्या घटाउने बढाउने विषयमा विभिन्न तह तप्कामा छलफल तथा वहस चलिरहेको छन। सेनाको संख्या घटाउने बढाउने  विषयमा दुवै पक्षमा जोडदार आवाजहरु सुनिन्छन। सेनाको हालको संख्या लगभग ९८००० जना रहेको छ। देशको सुरक्षा संयन्त्रको प्रमुख हिस्सा रहेको ने...

  Exploration for dolomite was not much emphasized in the past due to either absence of dolomite base industries or its small likely requirement in the industries. ln many cases the carbonate rocks when searched as the cement grade limestone as raw material for cement industry, the associating dolomite were discarded as undesirable ingredient. Hence their documentation has not been properly made and real situation of the dolomite still remain obscure except in one case like the identification of 4.2 million tons of good quality dolomite in the Udaypur Limestone deposit.(Mineral Resources of Nepal,2023) For many limestone resources examined in the past, assessment in terms of identifying industrial dolomite is either lacking or with sketchy data. Recently the Department of Mines and Geology for the industrial dolomite in Dhading, Arghakhachi and Baitadi regions to fulfill the emerging demands in the paint, soap and detergent industries. To date good quality dolomites are observed ...
