Kakadbhitta, Aug 25: Geologists and engineers have asserted that the use of Bhetiwar plantation technology would be cost-effective and useful for the prevention of flood and landslide and protection of soil.
Bhetiwar is a herb-like plant which is somewhat similar to the plant of Kush (a sacred plant used for religious worships) and its roots are robust stretching over up to 8 feet.
The plant within its six month of age serves as an organic wall to prevent soil erosion, said experts. The experts associated to the Stage Nepal and Bhetiwar Network shared the information at a programme organized at the meeting hall of Mechinagar municipality on Wednesday to highlight the importance of Bhetiwar.
Stage Nepal Chair Engineer Sanjaya Devkota said the use of Bhetiwar is gaining popularity across the globe as a natural measure for river control and erosion prevention.
It can be transplanted anywhere whether that be in ridge or in barren land and stretches its roots in no time which is very important to prevent soil erosion and possible natural disaster risks. RSS
