Framework for co-development of an open hydrological data system to enhance climate resilience in climate vulnerable countries: experience from a digital groundwater monitoring pil... by Urfels, Anton, Shakya, S. M., Maharjan, S., Lohanee, B. D., Pandey, V., Khadka, Manohara, Adhikari, S., Neupane, A., Karki, S., Acharya, S., Foster, T., Krupnik, Timothy J.

“…Here we present such a framework of using novel technologies and approaches to build an open and inclusive hydrological data system in climate vulnerable countries. The framework highlights the issues of inclusion and social sustainability, the use of models, digital technologies, and open and citizen science approaches and considers direct the policy implication of the social-ecological nature of water management: (i) field data availability as a key constraint for advancing the hydrological sciences and making informed policy decision, (ii) social aspects of the hydrological cycle for advancing our understanding of the dynamics between water and nature, and (iii) the social power of models and datasets for influencing policy processes. …”
