Nepal's Everest Valley is under pressure from climate change, pollution and tourism. At an altitude of 5,000 metres, French scientists are on a series of missions to measure the impact of these environmental changes on the water resources of this Asian region. For a variety of reasons linked to working conditions and the geographical context (difficult access, altitude, earthquakes, GLOF), accurate, long-term hydro-climatic observation data are still scarce in the Himalayan valleys.

It is in this context that, since 2010, researchers from Montpellier have been working on a multidisciplinary program to carry out a systematic hydrological study of the Khumbu region of Nepal, at the foot of the world's highest peak.
