It aims to develop, implement and demonstrate a functional and non-conventional river monitoring system, which will stand alone as the backbone and pioneering step towards the restoration process of the rivers of the Kathmandu Valley.

The project is designed in a way to be replicated on a regional, national or international level, establishing it as a model for Nepal and South Asia
