The Bagmati River Expedition 2015 collected vital baseline data of 38 parameters and took data from 34 sites along 200km of the Bagmati River through Nepal from the source to the border with India through city, rural, and wilderness areas. The data was collected by Nepalese early career scientists from different disciplines who worked together sharing knowledge and skills to increase overall understanding of river systems. By hiking along the river as the river flows, the team gained a rare experience and witnessed impacts and changes to the ecosystems and to the people living near the river.
