At present, water resources are severely stressed and particularly scarce in the middle mountain region of Nepal. To address the issue related to water availability, water supply and distribution, having a longer-term impact database would be required inclusive of geology and structure, geomorphology and groundwater and hydrology. Generating knowledge on mapping of water resources and monitoring water flow and factors associated with change in water availability are prerequisites for effective management of scarce water resources. With due consideration of this issue YAE has started to generate knowledge on spring sources. YAE is one of the Pioneer institution in Nepal to work on spring source assessment and mapping.
WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Springs are the lifeline of mountain ecosystems. YAE has been working on the conservation and restoration of springs since 2018.
