Answer:

Importance

1- The rivers offer a lot of potential for hydroelectric power production.

2- Nepal is the world's second-richest country in terms of water resources.

3- Many small-scale water mills, industries, and power-stations are situated near the rivers

4- These river harbors a variety of fishes.

sorry I cant find out the fifth one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total rivers in Nepal are more than 6000. There are about 6000 rivers (small and big)

Dashing torrents, peaceful lakes, leaping rivers, unique springs, and underground water resources are only a few of them. In Nepal, there are various rivers. Mechi, Koshi, Bagmati, Narayani, Gandaki, Rapti, Mahakali, and many others are the major rivers. The Koshi is Nepal's most important river, followed by the Narayani and the Karnali. The majority of Nepal's rivers originate in the mountains.

The fact is that Nepal is the world's second-richest country in terms of water resources.

River Mahakali:

At its high headwaters, it is a perennial, furious river. This river starts near Indian territory, on the Irom Milan glacier. The riverbed is rocky and sandy, and there is little algae growth. Many small-scale water mills, factories, and power plants are located within the lowland catchment region, resulting in a few contaminants entering the river naturally. The Mahakali (Sarada) river is home to 69 different species of fish (Shrestha 1990). Fishermen in the Mahakali watershed have perfected a wide range of fishing techniques that are similar to migratory fish runs seen on waterfronts.

River Narayani:

The source of this perennial and violent river is the Himalayan southern slope. The Kali Gandaki, Budi Gandaki, Trisuli, Marsyangdi, Madi, and Seti rivers are among its seven tributaries. During March and April, the pH ranges from 6.7 to 7.5, the water temperature is 18.0 to 28.5°C, and the DO is 7.8 to 13.8ppm (1990-91). The river has a diverse fish biology, with 102 species of fish identified in the Narayani River.

We have to generate enough electricity for all Nepali people by using river water. The river water can also be used for irrigation purposes. Agriculture is the main occupation of Nepali people, so irrigation is of great significance.
