🌱 Making MHPs More Resilient – With Nature-Based Solutions!
Bioengineering can help make decentralized energy systems more resilient towards natural hazards. The Girikhola MHP in Tatopani, a mountainous municipality in Nepal’s Jumla district, has faced growing risks from landslides and erosion.

How can Nepal's remote mountain communities ensure the long-term sustainability of micro-hydropower plants (MHPs)? 🏔️🇳🇵
For 30+ years, MHPs have powered off-grid areas, but ageing equipment & lack of maintenance funds now threaten their reliability.
