Short summary
Flash floods are becoming more frequent in mountainous regions due to heavier rainstorms. To protect people and property, we are working to better understand local hydrology and improve the efficiency of early warning systems for urban flooding in Lesser Himalayas. By combining community knowledge, low-cost technology, we can enhance understanding of flood dynamics and strengthen preparedness in mountains. This work is a step toward building resilience by bridging science and community insight.
