Sulitar Irrigation System, located in Chitwan district of Nepal and constructed almost two decades ago, is one of them. The farmers have been relentlessly working for construction, maintenance, repair and operation of the system with wider community participation. Participation is not only limited to the field level but also extends to crafting of rules and regulation pertaining to the governance of the system. Participatory approach adopted in this system has fostered transparency and accountability in the management entity with a sense of ownership and self responsibility as an asset embraced by water users. In addition, effective system of resource mobilization for Operation and Maintenance (O & M) is appreciable. Their working culture of participation, purposefulness and integrity has drawn in huge amount of internal as well as external resources to the project. Efficient networking with other organizations has led to profound resource mobilization, leadership sharing and a buildup of strong social capital. They are also well aware of the sustainability of the system and pre-requisites for it. Resource generation and O & M of the system have been institutionalized for its durability and long-term sustainability. Fundamental requirement for an irrigation system is the impact made by the system on the agriculture and livelihood of the people within the command area. Subsistence based agriculture prevailing before the service of irrigation system has now advanced to crop intensification and crop diversification paving the way for commercialization. Food security in the community has been enhanced and poor livelihood of common people has been transforming towards prosperity.

It adversely affects the well being of the individuals or cause damages to properties. Pollutants identification requires measurements by standard methods of sampling and analysis. In this study, monitoring of TSP, PM10, SO2 and NO2 were performed during the months of April – August, 2008 by using high volume sampler, i. e. Envirotech APM 451 Model. Four hours (11:00 am to 3:00 pm) of monitoring for SO2 and NO2 , 24 hours of monitoring for TSP and PM10 were carried out. SO2 concentration ranged from 4.8 ?g/m3 to 20.5 ?g/m3 and NO2 concentration ranged from 1.2 ?g/m3 to 8.8 ?g/m3 for four hour monitoring period. TSP concentration ranged from 24.7 ?g/m3 to 82.0 ?g/m3 whereas PM10 concentration ranged from 25.4 ?g/m3 to 152.4 ?g/m3 for 24 hours of monitoring. Present study concluded that the air quality of Khumaltar area in Lalitpur, Nepal met WHO as well as NAAQS standards during the study period. Nepalese cities/towns have always been thought to be serious in terms of particulate matter pollution but consideration of the trend of gasesous pollutants emitted from vehicle exhaust is recommended for future research.

The author, based on findings of the Tractebel’s feasibility study itself, gives reasons why the project is unlikely to be implemented as recommended by the consultant. Further, the author raises the question with the government why this project was declared as one of the projects of national pride and was ready for committing to funding beforehand for the preparation of detail design, tender documents and tender drawings in a single package contract along with the feasibility study when the investment decision could only be taken after ascertaining the soundness/ attractiveness of the project on technical, economical, financial and socio-environmental grounds through feasibility and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies. The author also believes that the project could become more attractive if the downstream benefits from flow regulation in existing irrigation project in India could be accounted for and two potential hydroelectric projects in Nepal at the downstream reaches could be implemented first to derive additional power benefits in these two projects from flow regulation.
