|Description=History
Nepal Water Conservation Foundation for Academic Research (NWCF) is a non-governmental, nonpolitical and not-for-profit organization conducting interdisciplinary research, advocacy and capacity building on interrelated issues that affect the use and management of water, environment, climate change, disaster and with specific focus on the Himalaya Ganga region. The NWCF was reincorporated with the District Administration office Kathmandu in 2000 meeting the governmental requirements. Since its establishment, the NWCF has dedicated its focus to generate and disseminate knowledge on water and environment management through research, publications and engagement in public dialogues. It has also sought to address emerging challenges and ever-changing educational needs of water management. The NWCF works with local as well as with international organizations at local, provincial, national, regional and international levels.

Vision
The NWCF envisions a world where the current needs of water are met without compromising the rights of the future generations and nature.

Mission
The NWCF’s mission is to improve understanding of the water and its intrinsic function in human society and nature through interdisciplinary research, sharing and dissemination, and capacity building of younger professionals. The aim is to evolve such ethos into institutions that analyze water issues at regional and international scales.

Competence
Well –known nationally and internationally and looked upon as the knowledge and effective research organization, the NWCF maintains its status by focusing on three primary areas of:

The NWCF pursues cutting-edge research, dissemination and training. Our commitment to provide high quality services in a socio-culturally relevant environment is unmatched and has earned us the reputation of a leading research organization on water resources. Our research is focused on finding solutions to emerging problems of resource management combining democratic ethos with traditional values. The NWCF organizes conferences, seminars, and public debates focused on issues that matter to a larger community of resources manager, policy makers, and academicians. Our trainings are designed to be a complete learning experience with a combination of presentations with interactive exercises, case studies, group discussions and lectures. We also train water users to develop their proposals for effective water management. The NWCF is involved in generating knowledge, raising awareness and disseminating insights through innovate actions carried out in partnership with its field partners. The NWCF shares its research findings through education and advocacy with a specific focus on capacity building both of the upcoming generation as well as of disadvantaged groups.

At the provincial and local levels, the NWCF helps strengthen institutional capacity of community and civil society groups for informed participation in decision- making processes. NWCF supports initiatives of building capability of young professionals to analyze issues related
 
to resource management, thus creating a pool of interdisciplinary analytical expertise. The staff members working at the NWCF are qualified with extensive field experiences nationally, regionally and internationally.
