Summary

This bulletin published by the Department of Geology Tribhuvan University is a report on morpho hydrologic parameters and classification of the Kodku River for stream stability assessment. The Kodku River Corridor is one of the most potential corridors for the future development of roads that would link the southern remote areas of the Kathmandu Valley to the inner core areas. River stability is of great concern as the unstable segment of river may pose a threat on infrastructures, and adjacent cultivated lands and settlement areas. In this light, the preliminary assessment of the Kodku River as a part of the stability assessment was undertaken. The broad level geomorphic and hydrologic parameters and Level I and II classifications of the river were made to assess for stability conditions.
