    This dataset presents the findings of a springshed management initiative conducted across seven municipalities in the Kavrepalanchok district of Nepal, addressing critical water stress caused by the drying of springs and ponds. Spanning 743 sq. km, the dataset includes detailed mapping of 5,689 water sources, of which 27% have dried due to factors such as earthquakes, droughts, infrastructure development, and natural disasters, while 58% of the active springs show declining flow trends. The dataset provides information on water source locations, conditions, discharge rates, usage patterns, socio-economic data of dependent users, community-implemented adaptation measures, biophysical characteristics, and governance aspects. Data collection followed a six-step protocol for springshed management, with 150 trained community resource persons (CRPs) using the Survey123 app for efficient and accurate digital documentation. This initiative demonstrates the potential of a citizen science approach to large-scale spring documentation, offering a foundation for evidence-based water resource management and policy development. The emphasis on gender inclusivity, digital innovation, and local knowledge provides valuable insights for scaling springshed management across the Hindu Kush Himalaya and similar regions.

    As part of climate change impact monitoring program on biodiversity, UWICER has initiated HEROES program in 2015. 17 schools covering different altitudinal gradient and geographic region were selected as monitoring sites. In each school, weather station was installed that logs weather data such as temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, soil moisture, wind speed and wind direction every 10 minutes. Also, at the same location, the project monitor and records phenological events and its timing such as budburst, flowering and fruting on an yearly basis. This dataset consists of daily and monthly temperature and precipitation data for 2015-2020 period derived from weather station data collected at 10 minute interval at Tangmachu School in Lhuntse, Bhutan.
