The Seti (not to be confused with the Seti Gandaki River ) is a right tributary of the Karnali (upper reaches of the Ghaghara ) in the Sudurpashchim province in western Nepal .
The Seti has its source in the Himalayan mountain range of Guran's Himal . It is fed by several glaciers . The Seti initially flows south. The river passes the places Kanda and Chainpur . Then it turns to the southwest, breaks through the foothills of the Himalayas and turns to the southeast. The Seti flows past the town ( municipality ) Dipayal Silgadhi , takes the Budhiganga from the left and finally reaches the Karnali, which flows westwards. The Seti has a length of 202 km. The catchment area covers 7460 km². At the Gophgat gauge , 67 km above the estuary, the mean discharge is 206 m³ / s. The dry season lasts from January to April. The lowest monthly discharge takes place in February with 46 m³ / s. At the end of May the runoff increased rapidly and reached its maximum in August with a monthly mean of 637 m³ / s.
There are plans for a 750 MW hydropower plant on the Seti River. The underground power plant would be 62 km above the Seti estuary, the associated 195 m high dam another 19.2 km upstream. The water would be fed to the power plant via a 6.7 km long tunnel. The 19.2 km long river bend between the dam and the power station would thus largely fall dry.
