About this ebook

This book provides an in-depth exploration of the multifaceted impacts of climate change on water resources in Nepal, with a focus on precipitation extremes, hydropower sustainability, sedimentation challenges, and urbanization effects. Utilizing advanced numerical models along with experimental setups including rainfall simulators, it offers comprehensive insight into hydrological and environmental changes under future climate scenarios. The research is primarily centered on river basins in the Gandaki Province, addressing both gauged and ungauged catchments, and provides practical recommendations for future water resource management and sustainable development.

This new book stands out by offering a localized, multidisciplinary study specifically tailored to the unique topography and climate of Nepal’s Himalayan river basins. Compared to other works, it integrates experimental and simulation-based approaches to assess precipitation extremes, sediment yield, streamflow in ungauged basins, and urbanization impacts—offering both academic depth and practical policy relevance.

The key audience includes researchers, academicians, environmental engineers, hydrologists, policymakers, and postgraduate students working in the fields of climate change adaptation, hydrology, and sustainable water management. The content is also relevant to professionals in development planning, infrastructure design, and disaster risk reduction, especially in mountainous and climate-vulnerable regions.
