The main objective of this IJL is to assess the spatio-temporal variability of high-elevation precipitation in the Himalayas, with a focus on one region influenced by the Asian monsoon (the Everest region, Nepal), in order to better quantify the impacts of climate and glacier changes on water resources at regional scale.

To achieve the goals of WATER-HIMAL, the following stages are required:
–  Promoting the use of the existing glacio-meteo-hydrological observation network and insuring data dissemination.
–  Assessing the spatio-temporal variability of precipitation at high elevation in the Himalayas with a focus in the Everest region, in order to better quantify the impacts of climate and glacier changes on water resources at regional scale.
