💨 Abstract

Flooding in Nepal caused by floods that destroyed crucial infrastructure reagents, particularly hydropower facilities near the Bhotekoshi River. The floods in July 2025, exacerbated by rapid warming of the Himalayan region, destroyed bridges and a container depot, costing the economy. Experts and officials highlight the inadequacy of current infrastructure planning and call for resilience-oriented rebuilding to mitigate long-term economic damage due to increasing extreme weather events.
