Study was conducted to determine turnover of water, nitrogen and energy in lactating Holstein x Boran cows. Nine cows (Bos indicus × B. taurus) between their 42nd and 420th the days of lactation were selected for this study. The crossbred cows had ad libitum access to water and a dried maize stov...

Seasonal water fluctuations both in quality and quantity negatively affect livestock production and subsequently reduce livestock-water productivity (LWP) in rainfed pastoral production systems. The major contributing factors to this phenomenon are poor upper catchment and water resource manageme...

The Melamchi Water Supply Project (MWSP) is designed to minimize the shortage of drinking water in the Kathmandu valley. Although the project was supposed to be completed by 2008, due to various problems, it is still difficult to forecast the exact date of completion. This paper quantifies the do...
