Geomorphic and Forest Cover Controls on Monsoon Flooding, Central Nepal Himalaya

Summary

The study focuses on predicting monsoon floods in central Nepal and examines factors contributing to flooding. It concludes that drainage area is the primary factor affecting bank-full discharge, with forest cover not significantly influencing it. These findings can inform future projects, including those related to irrigation, hydropower, and footbridge construction, which may be vulnerable to flood hazards in the central Nepal Himalayas.
