Changes in precipitation patterns affecting crop production and food security in Nepal
December 24, 2023 08:00 am
Groundwater is a crucial component for sustaining water resources, especially in countries like Nepal, where surface water availability can be seasonally variable. However, groundwater assessment in Nepal is still in its early stages, marked by a lack of comprehensive data on groundwater levels, recharge rates, and aquifer capacities. This knowledge gap poses challenges in effectively managing groundwater resources, with an increasing reliance due to the unpredictability of surface water sources, particularly for irrigation and drinking water in both rural and urban areas.
