This book entitled "Impact of Climate Change and Adaptation Practices in Central Nepal: A case of Salyantar" has tried to depict the status of climate change, its impact and adaptation strategies of the local people to cope with it especially in the sector of water resources. With the view of assessing the impacts and identifying adaptation means, people's perception was studied through Participatory Rural Appraisal tools which was supplemented by scientific means where appropriate. The meteorological data was analysed followed by the Mann-Kendall Test to assign the statistical significance to the trend. Present scenario of water resources was found by discharge and water level measurement along with the analysis of landsat images for last three decades. Similarly, temperature vegetation dryness index and laboratory analysis of soil samples was used to identify soil moisture. The research revealed that the study area, which was already stuck in the grip of water stress because ofits plateau like location is experiencing the problem unfavourably, mainly because of the effects of climate change.
