A joint technical team representing Nepal and India has started a feasibility study for the construction of a high dam on the Saptakoshi River which will provide year-round irrigation facility to a dozen districts from Jhapa to Parsa.

The ambitious multi-billion dollar project will provide irrigation, control floods and generate 3,000 MW of electricity. The Saptakoshi River has seven tributaries and is one of the biggest rivers in Nepal.
