Abstract: This report includes the design and optimization of a tunnel for the Ikhuwa Khola Hydropower Project in Nepal. The project aims to use the river�s power to generate electricity. Different factors like the type of ground, water flow, and structural needs to plan the tunnel were looked at to plan the tunnel. Using advanced computer models and optimization techniques, we found the best alignment for the tunnel, its shape, and the necessary support structures. Our approach included detailed geological surveys, water flow studies, and simulations to see how the tunnel would hold up under different conditions. The results show that understanding local ground conditions and using modern design methods can make tunnels stronger and more cost-effective. The optimized design ensures the tunnel will carry water safely and efficiently while reducing environmental impact and construction costs. This case study of the Ikhuwa Khola Hydropower Project offers useful lessons for building tunnels in difficult terrains and can guide future hydropower projects in similar areas.
