What is Bioengineering?

Bioengineering is use of living plants either alone or in configuration with small scale civil engineering structures/ non-living plant materials for the purpose of reducing shallow seated instability & controlling erosion in slopes.

I. Make initial plan
2. Prioritize the works:
3. Divide the side or slope into segments
4. Assess the side
5. Determine civil engineering works
6. Choose the right bio-engineering techniques
7 Design the civil & bio-engineering works

Role of Bio-engineering in Nepal

हाम्रो देशको कमलो भौगोलिक बनावट, भिराला पहाडहरु, अत्याधिक वर्षा आदिको कारणले प्राकृतिक भू क्षय भैरहन्छ भने बढ्दो जनसंख्याको चाप, खेतीयोग्य जमिनको सिमितता, खेतीपाती गर्ने पुरानो चलन, प्राकृतिक स्रोतहरुको जथाभावी प्रयोग एवं अज्ञानताको कारणले कृत्रिम भु-क्षय भैरहेको कुरा हामी सबैमा अवगतै छ । जसबाट ठूलो धनजनको क्षति हुने गरेको छ । यो समस्याबाट देशले मुक्ति पाउनको लागि विभिन्न ठाउँमा विभिन्न किसिमका सिभिल संरचनाहरुको निर्माण गर्दै गरेको भएतापनि ती समस्याहरूबाट मुक्ति पाउन सफल भएको देखिदैन । तसर्थ उपयुक्त किसिमको कम खर्चिलो एव दिगो प्रविधिको प्रयोगबाट भू-संरक्षण गर्नु आजको आवश्यकता बनेको छ र त्यो प्रविधि बायो इंन्जिनियरिङ मात्र हुन सक्छ।

# वायो ईन्जिनियरिङ के हो ?
साधारण अर्थमा भन्ने हो भने वायो ईन्जिनिरिङको एउटा शाखा हो। जसमा जिवित बोटबिरुवा (वनस्पति) को एकल प्रयोग वा जिवित वनस्पति र सिभिल ईन्जिनियरिङ संरचनाहरुको दुवैको संयुक्त प्रयोग गरेर भूक्षय रोकथाम गर्ने एउटा प्रविधि हो । यो प्रविधि तुलनात्मकरुपमा सस्तो, स्थानिय स्रोत साधन, सीप र जनसहभागितामा आधारित भएकोले बढी दिगो र प्रभावकारी र जो कोहीले पनि सजिलैसँग कार्यान्वयन तथा अनुशरण गर्न सक्छ ।

# परिभाषा
विशुद्ध इन्जिनियरिङ संरचनाहरु मात्र भू-क्षय रोकथामको दिगो उपाय होईन। एकातिर ईन्जिनियरिङ स्ट्रचर धेरै महंगा हुन्छन् भने अर्को तिर यसको लागि धेरै दक्ष प्रविधि (skill Technique) को आवश्यकता पर्दछ । जुन क्रमशः ग्रामीण स्तरमा निर्माण गर्न पनि सम्भव हुँदैन भने उपभोक्ताहरुबाट व्यहोर्न पनि असंभव हुन्छ । निर्माण कार्य समाप्तीको लगत्तै इन्जिनियरिङ सरचनाहरुको शक्ति उच्चतम हुन्छ भने समयको अन्तरालसँग घट्दै गई शूज्य हुन पुग्छ तर वनस्पति संरचना (Bio Engineering Structure) मा शुरुमा शक्ति शुन्य भई समय अन्तरालमा उच्चतम हुन पुग्छ सिभिल इन्जिनियरिङ स्ट्रक्चर र वनस्पति संरचनाको संयुक्तरुपमा प्रयोग गर्दा इन्जिनियरिङ संरचनाको कार्य विस्तारै वनस्पतिमा सर्छ र बनस्पतिले इन्जिनियरिङ संरचनाको कार्य गर्दछ ।

Engineering Function Vegetation

# वनस्पति ईन्जिनियरिङका कार्यहरु (Engineering Function Vegetation)
१. समात्नु (Catch): बोट बिरुवाले वर्षाको पानीलाई ठाडै तलतिर बग्नबाट रोक्दछ साथै भू-क्षय प्रक्रियामा झर्ने ढुंगा, माटो तथा लेदोलाई आफ्नो फेद नजिकै थुपार्दछन् ।
२ कवच (Armour) :- वनस्पति तथा घाँसपातहरुले माटो बग्ने कार्यलाई रोक्न जमिनलाई सुरक्षा कवच (Protective Cover) प्रदान गर्दछ ।
३. जेलिनु (Dense Roots) माटो भित्र जेलिएर रहेको वनस्पतिका जराहरुले (Dense Roots) माटो र ढुंगालाई समातेर राख्ने शक्ति प्रदान गर्दछ ।
४. अड्काउनु (Anchor) :- रुखका मुल जरा जमिन भित्रसम्म गएर रुखलाई बलियो गरी उभ्याउँदछ र माथिबाट झरेका ढुंगाका स-साना टुक्राहरु एवं भिरालोलाई अड्याउन सहयोग गर्दछ ।
५. सहारा (Support) :- वनस्पतिका मूल जरा वा सहायक जराहरुले भिरालो सतहमा रहेका ढुंगा एवं माटोलाई एकिकृत गरी भूक्षय रोकथाममा सहारा प्रदान गर्दछ ।
६. निकास(Drain) :- बनस्पतिले जमिनको सतह र सतहमुनिको अनावश्यक पानीलाई आफ्नो जरा प्रणालीको सहायताले जमिन भित्र पानी निकासको कार्य गर्दछ ।

Bio Engineering Techniques

# वायो ईन्जिनियरिङ उपायहरु (Bio Engineering Techniques)
१. बीउ छर्ने (Grass, Tress & shrub Sowing) - निकै अफ्ठ्यारो, अस्थिर, भिरालो चट्टानी भाग जहाँ बिरुवा रोप्न अफ्ठ्यारो हुन्छ, त्यस ठाउँमा सिर्व बीउ छरिन्छ ।
२. बांस अम्रिसो रोप्ने (Bamboo broomgrass planting) :- अति भिरालो ठाउँमा बाँसले पञ्चलि (Toe wall) को काम गर्दछ ।
३. जिवित छेकबधि (Live Checkdam) :- सानासाहरुमा छिटो सर्ने रुख तथा बिरुवाहरुको हाँगा रोपिन्छ ।
४. पखल बाँध र तार जालीको बाँध (Loose stone & Gabion chechdam) :- गल्छीको शिरमा, बेडमा र वरिपरि छुट्टै वा नियन्त्रण बांधसंग संयुक्तरुपमा बिरुवा रोपिन्छ ।
५. बस लेयरिङ (Brush Layering) :- कम भिरालो तथा खुकुलो माटोले पुरेको जमिनमा सिमली, असुरो जस्ता छिटै सर्ने जातका रुखका हाँगाहरु तेर्सो लाइनमा सुताएर रोपिन्छ ।
६ किला र बाँसको छेकवार (Brush wood checkdam) :- गल्छीहरुमा बाँस र काठको प्रयोगबाट छेकबांध बनाइन्छ ।
७. मुढे बांध (Log dam) :- अलि बढी गहिराई र चौडाई भएको गल्छीमा यसप्रकारको बाँधको प्रयोग गरिन्छ ।

Features of Bio-engineering

  • कम खर्चिलो (Cost effective)
  • विभिन्न वनस्पतिहरु स्थानीय स्तरमा उपलब्ध हुने,
  • उच्च प्रविधि र दक्ष जनशक्ति नचाहिने,
  • ग्रामीण स्तरबाट भिरालोको अस्थिरता र भूक्षय घटाउन सकिने,
  • वनस्पतिबाट फलफूल उत्पादन भई आयआर्जनमा वृद्धि गर्न सकिने,
  • पर्यावरणीय सुधार (Envoronmental Improvement) हुने,
  • वनस्पतिमा विविधता हुने काम गर्न सजिलो हुने,
  • लामो समयसम्म टिकाउ हुने,
  • मर्मत गर्न सजिलो हुने ।

Varieties of vegetation suitable for Bio-engineering

# वायो ईन्जिनियरिङका लागि उपयुक्त बिरुवाहरु
१. घाँस प्रजाति (Grasses): अम्रिसो, बाबियो, दुबो, कांख, खर, नरकट, तिते निगालो, पुर्के, खसखस, बांस आदि ।
२. नेपियर, झाडी बुट्टयान प्रजाति (Shrubs) : अर्गेली, आंक, असुरो, बैस, झुजेत्रो, घनेरी, घुसुन, केतुकी, अलैची, ऐसेलु, निलकाढा, सिम्ले, लालुपाते, कदम, कांडा फूल आदि ।
