Abstract:
The aim of this research was to analysis status of high altitude surface water bodies (lakes, springs as well as rivers) of the Sagarmatha National Park, Khumbu region from different sampling points ranging from 1900m to 5300m altitude. To understand the entire riverine environment, it is one of the uniqe tools which do not replace the existing river quality evaluation methods. This tool helps to approach to present and future management of rivers. It is an integrated strategy for river protection, management and restoration. From the GIS software, directly displayed on the map to understand the functionality level. Many sapling sites like Likewise Gokyo spring between Gokyo 2nd lake and 1st lake, Tamang spring categorized to Fair to poor in condition. Namche spring categorized to poor to very poor condition, which indicated the very poor condition due to no vegetation in primary as well as secondary perifluzial zone, which indicated that proper attention, should be given for further degradation as well as sustainable development of water ecosystem.
