Is Nepal the second-richest country in the world for water resources?

Nepal is a country located in the Himalayan region, known for its unique geography, rich culture, and diverse ecosystems. One of Nepal’s most valuable natural resources is water. The country is considered to be the second richest in water resources due to its geographic location, topography and climate.

But the claim that Nepal is the second-largest country in water resources has been disputed by some sources . It might hurt the sentiment of many Nepalis who hold this statement dearly to be a fact, but it is not true. Meanwhile, some other sources have in fact termed Nepal to be the world’s second richest country in inland water resources with as many as 6,000 rivers, rivulets and tributaries.
