With no winter rain in Nepal for years, the conversation dives deep into the reasons behind changing rainfall patterns and how this is impacting water availability, agriculture, and ecosystems across the country. We explore the science behind watershed management in Nepal, uneven rainfall distribution, and the real causes of water shortage in Nepal. Madhukar explains how declining rainfall is directly linked to soil erosion, landslides in Nepal, and long-term environmental damage.
