Introduction
Introduction
NWCF is a non-governmental, non political and not-for-profit organization conducting interdisciplinary research on interrelated issues that affect the use and management of water with specific focus on the Himalaya-Ganga region. The foundation was reincorporated with the District Administration Office Kathmandu in 2000 meeting the governmental requirements. Since its establishment, the foundation has dedicated its focus to generate and disseminate knowledge on water management through research, publications and engagement in public dialogues. It has also sought to address emerging challenges and ever changing educational needs of water management. NWCF works with local communities as well as with organizations at local, national, regional and international levels.
