In the Terai region, the southern parts of Nepal, the customary units are those used elsewhere in South Asia: 1 katha = 20 dhur; 1 bigha = 20 katha; Hilly and mountainous regions. A different system is used in hilly regions: 1 paisa = 4 dam (daam) 1 ana (aana) = 4 paisa [2] 1 ropani = 16 ana; Conversions 1 ropani = 74 feet × 74 feet; 1 bigha ...
A Bigha is a customary unit of measurement in Nepal, equal to about 6,773 square meters. Officially, most measurement of lands use units of either Bigha (in Terai region) or Ropani (Nepali: रोपनी) (in Hilly regions). Metric system (SI unit of square metre) is very seldom used officially in measuring area of land.
A centimetre of water [1] is a unit of pressure. It may be defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 cm in height at 4 °C (temperature of maximum density) at the standard acceleration of gravity, so that 1 cmH 2 O (4°C) = 999.9720 kg/m 3 × 9.80665 m/s 2 × 1 cm = 98.063754138 Pa ≈ 98.0638 Pa, but conventionally a nominal maximum water density of 1000 kg/m 3 is used, giving ...

An issue subsequently coming with this project is Nepal’s access to sea port via 165 km long navigation canal linking to Calcutta sea port through River Ganges. [ 2 ] After catastrophe (Koshi changing course breaking the embankments [ 3 ] ) by erosion of embankments Koshi Barrage in 2008 [ 4 ] and the 52 year old barrage's decaying life has ...
