Possible Narratives

We saw that there was a sudden incline of deaths in 2007 in Nepal. We have looked into possible reasons as to why this would happen in Nepal and how that could help us tell a clear narrative.

Other factors that may have had an impact on the death toll in Nepal. From this we can begin to see that the weather may play a big part in terms of road sustainability. The monsoon season and landslides are a leading wether cause to these road deaths along with the simple negligence of driving.

2007 Jul 13, In Nepal landslides in two mountainous districts killed at least 26 people and injured 17 more. (AP, 7/13/07)

2007 Aug 4, In Nepal the toll from monsoon-triggered flooding and landslides stood at 91, with most of the deaths in the Terai plains region on Nepal's southern border with India. (AP, 8/4/07)

Other Possible Factors:

Economy
Production of Cars
Road Worthiness of vehicles
Sewage system
Maintenance of roads



Nepal Economy
Nepal is the poorest country in South Asia and the 17th poorest in the world. Approximately 25 percent of Nepalis live below the poverty line.

One issue that has affected a good deal of Nepal’s existing road infrastructure comes from the weather. Water flow rates can be enormous due to run-off from mountain glaciers, becoming worse still during the monsoon season due to intense bursts of heavy rainfall. Of the existing roads (surfaced and unsurfaced), up to 60% become unusable during the monsoon season and that includes most of the rural road connections.

Management said that the country has so far built 25,115km of roads, of which 11,565km is dirt road, 6,077km is gravel road and 7,474km is asphalt paved road.
