  1. Need of Actions For More Energy from Less Water Amar Jibi Ghimire EC Member, IPPAN, Nepal

  2. Water for Energy • Absolutely right time to think how to produce more energy using less water as - • Water is the element which is pertinent to generate energy to fight with economic turmoil • Scenario approx. 600MW out of approx.1,00,000 MW

  3. National Perception • Goal – Early water utilization for energy due to the need -that resulted to “only IEE up to 50 MW from 5 MW” • Purposes –Overcome Economic Turmoil • Strategy – Create just possible technologies and policies in order to have early energy generation

  4. Regional Scenario • Possibility of export/import of clean energy for bilateral as well as multilateral benefit however: • Lack of Understanding, Unsound Technologies and Vulnerable Policies • Hard to get grass level confident with present

  5. Challenges • Though equitable distribution of benefits from the use of natural resources is a responsibility of the State rather than a fundamental right of citizens, the matter cannot be challenged even if the state fails to fulfill these responsibilities

  6. Challenges • Major flaw is that ownership over water resources is vested on the central level state authority-local authority has less bargaining power • Licensing mechanism – increase in corruption with future threat • Primary focus is on using of water for personal benefit and less importance is given to conservation.

  7. Recommendation • Three tier approach of the state is needed that is • Respect, Protect and Fulfill • Management should be through the policies which can be converted to strong mandatory legal framework • Necessity to abide by the general standards of international law andto create a self punishable legal and regulatory approach

  8. Recommendation • Clear understanding on state level as well as on regional approach • Water policies should be in optimum utilization, resource conservation by avoiding water related conflicts • An urgent need of an integrated and sustainable approach for water resource planning and energy usage

  9. Recommendation • Basin management approach is a must • Creation of clear water right – for local empowerment is needed • Water resource is to be considered as “right-duty” based approach • Active participation of stakeholder and more importantly needed to have stakeholders prioritization

  10. Recommendation • Need to build a networks for knowledge sharing so that better technologies can be transferred • Forum is required to promote stakeholder participation • Incentives are needed to ensure the technologies and polices to reduce the water/energy footprint

  11. Finally Thank-you
