ISET-Nepal brings substantial experience to the issues addressed by this project. The founding members of ISET and ISET-Nepal have conceptualized and led major regional research programs on the technical, social and institutional dimensions of water related issues in South Asia for more than two decades. Under the project, ISET-Nepal will play a lead role in researching flood and drought issues in Nepal and the earthquake issue in Kathmandu. Under this element of the project, ISET-Nepal will lead the production of: (1) one scoping paper combining flood and drought issues in Nepal and the earthquake issue in Kathmandu as well as existing data on risks and disaster risk reduction in the upper Rohini and Bagmati basins; (2) one policy paper on flood and drought issues in Nepal and the earthquake issue in Kathmandu.
