Environmental Knowledge-Building and Sensitization

Since basin planning and management combine diverse natural resources (water resources, soil resources, biological resources, etc.) and processes (river dynamics, geological phenomena, atmospheric processes, etc.) with traditional wisdom and grassroots knowledge, it is necessary to build a comprehensive data bank to enable meaningful analyses and obtain quantitative indicators of NRGB's status. Moreover, since NRGB's welfare needs the co-operation and help of both formal and informal sectors of society, the data bank – along with community-specific education material and programmes on NRGB's environment – should be accessible to citizens to enable their participation in NRGB
