    Sarojkumar Poudel
    The Super Ankhu Khola Hydropower Project is a proposed 25.4 MW run-of-the-river hydropower plant located in Dhading District, Nepal. It will divert water from the Tatopani and Menchet Khola rivers, which have a combined annual mean flow of 22.71 cubic meters per second. Key features include a 16 meter long weir, two desilting basins, a 3,455 meter long headrace tunnel, two 12,700 kW Francis turbines, and a 28 km transmission line connecting to the national grid. The estimated project cost is NRs. 3,968.95 million with a financial internal rate of return of 16.62% and
