Under the BAGAR (Building Agroforestry-based Adaptation Plans for Resilient Floodplains) project being implemented by The Small Earth Nepal (SEN) in partnership with Heifer International Nepal and ForestAction Nepal has developed Hydrological Models and Flood Risk Projections for Marin Rural Municipality, Sindhuli and Gadhimai Municipality, Rautahat.
These models help to identify flood prone areas highlighting vulnerable zones, project flood depths, evolving river dynamics and provide critical insights for planning of disaster risk reduction/climate change adaptation strategies and sustainable land use.
By combining science with community-based solutions like ecosystem restoration and agroforestry with practical land use plan for floodplain restoration, BAGAR is supporting at-risk communities to reduce flood risk, restore degraded floodplains while strengthening livelihoods and food/fodder security.
BAGAR Project is envisioning to transform vulnerable floodplain communities in Nepal’s Bagmati River Basin by combining climate adaptation with the power of Ecosystem based Adaptation (EbA) approaches
