Positive sustainability aspect
Erosion & sedimentation Kulekhani scheme has been designed and modified to secure power generation against disastrous debris flow and future sediment deposit in the reservoir.
Kulekhani Hydroelectric Power Stations are located at about 30 km southwest of Kathmandu. The system consists of two power stations of Kulekhani No. 1 (KL-1) and No. 2 (KL-2).
