Dang district
Flood control projects under study include a dam at Jalkundi that would inundate of farmland in Deukhuri Valley. An alternative dam site is upstream at "Naumure" on the Pyuthan-Dang district border (27°53'N, 82°48'E). This would be an earthen dam 169 m high with 351 million cubic meters live storage capacity, storing excess monsoon flows for irrigation use during the following dry season and generating up to 207 megawatts. Impoundment would mainly be in gorges through the Mahabharat Range, inundating less farmland than the Jalkundi alternative. Plans are also underway for three irrigation sub-projects – Kapilvastu District involving interbasin water transfer to the southeast, Deukhuri Valley , and Banke District .
