A 60 metres (200 ft) long concrete weir has a maximum height from foundation to crest of 7.3 metres (24 ft) The desander has four intake bays with vertical lift gates and is 75 metres (246 ft) long, 8 metres (26 ft) wide and 4.5 metres (15 ft) deep. It was designed to discharge 12.45 cubic metres per second (440 cu ft/s).

The farmers at Daraundi A expected road improvements and an electricity supply from the project, but received neither. The project developers stated that these things were the responsibility of the government.

From the desander there is a 3,578 metres (11,739 ft) reinforced concrete canal with a slope of 1:1000 and cross section of 2.5 by 25 metres (8 ft 2 in by 82 ft 0 in). There is a 201 metres (659 ft) canal siphon at Sota/Jhyalla Khola and a 173 metres (568 ft) pipe

The project is located in the former Muchok, Takumajh
Lakuribot and Saurpani VDCs of Gorkha District. The flow from Daraundi River is used to generate 6 MW electricity. It has a catchment area upstream from the intake of 224 square kilometres (86 sq mi), and long-term annual average flow

The project cost Rs 1.30 billion. Pricing would be Rs8.4 per kilowatt hour in the dry season, and Rs4.8 per kilowatt hour in the wet season. A ten-year payback was expected. The generation licence will expire in 2104-02-15 BS, after which the plant will be handed over to the government. The power
