摘　　要：Water resources are important natural resources for the economic development of Nepal. Availability of abundant water resources and geophysical features provides ample opportunities for hydropower production in Nepal. Out of the total hydropower generation capacity of about 83,000 megawatt（MW）in the country, about 42,000MW of power generation appears feasible to date from financial-technical perspective. In view of the internal consumption and export possibility of hydropower in the context of the overall development of the country, an investment friendly, clear, simple and transparent policy is necessary to enhance the development process of hydropower. An open and liberal policy pursued in the hydro- power sector after restoration of democracy has started yielding positive indications in the field of hydropower development. Our past experiences as well as working in close association with the private sector, even though for a short period, have guided our path in this regard. It is also observed that the need to overcome the short-comings and weaknesses that have emerged in the course of involvement and participation of the private sector in the water resource sector.
