#Solarpunk #writing and #art idea:
A #watershed #map instead of a political or elevation one.
Imagining a world divided into bio-regions not by some arbitrary political body, but by the rivers and water circulation.
We could make it into a beautiful symbol of a sustainable future.

“HIGHLIGHTS
• The rise in temperature and increase in precipitation is projected in future in Kaligandaki River basin.
• The water availability in the basin is not likely to decrease during this century.
• The change in water balance in the upper sub-basins of Kaligandaki River is higher.
• The output from this research could be beneficial for water resources management..."
