BetaBetaDataset
To assess and identify sub-basins and watersheds in the Middle and High Mountains of Nepal that are significantly vulnerable to Climate Change.
The spatial and socioeconomic data sets used for this study were collected and compiled from the government institutions, I/NGOs including the UN agencies and private organizations. The climate data (rainfall and temperature data for four seasons) used in this study were provided by the Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre. Further analyses were performed to construct the human and ecology sensitivity, climate risk/exposure and adaptive capability index, and on the basis of this information, combined maps of corresponding parameters were produced. Lastly, a combined vulnerability assessment was done and a map was produced with watersheds ranked according to their vulnerability.
This dataset entails monsoon rainfall, monsoon temperature, winter tempereture, forest dependency, soil surface erosion, mass wasting, flood risks, drought risks, rainfall trends, and landslides risks.
