Abstract	Resource Stress Index (RSI) is defined as the water resource availability in the basin to meet the pressure of the water demand of growing population taking account of environmental changes. The parameter such as such as water availability, water withdrawal, rainfall variation, temperature variation, distance to water source are accounted.
Purpose	With the use of this indicator, one can easily identify which part of Koshi basin is relatively vulnerable in terms of resource. This will be helpful to design intervention plan to reduce the resource vulnerability that exists in a particular part of the basin.
