In addition, this project aims to help municipal staff engage in climate change adaptation activities by making better system-level decisions based on tools such as geographic information systems (GIS) and hydrodynamic/drainage network modelling. The project’s methodology and results may contribute to facilitating urban planning, particularly to address water-logging issues in towns and cities in Nepal’s Terai region.

This training on GIS using QGIS 3.4 and drainage modelling using HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS has accordingly been designed to share the project’s learnings and transfer modelling skills to officials from five municipalities in the Terai region.
