This work was carried out as part of the Himalayan Adaptation, Water and Resilience
(HIAWARE) consortium under the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa
and Asia (CARIAA) with financial support from the UK Government’s Department for International
Development (DFID) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Ottawa,
Canada. This work was also partially supported by core funds of ICIMOD contributed
by the governments of Afghanistan, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China,
India, Myanmar, Nepal, Norway, Pakistan, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. This
project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European
Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 676819).
This work is part of the research programme VIDI with project number 016.161.208,
which is (partly) financed by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research
(NWO). DFID and IDRC funds the HI-AWARE consortium, of which ICIMOD and FutureWater
are consortium members. These funds partly supported the contributions of RRW, AFL,
SN, SK, SP, ABS, and WWI. ICIMOD core funds partly funded the contributions of SN,
SK, SP, and ABS. ERC partly funded the contribution of WWI through grant agreement
676819. VIDI partly funded the contribution of WWI through project 016.161.208. RRW,
AFL, SK, and WWI are employed by FutureWater. FutureWater provided support in the
form of salaries for authors RRW, AFL, SK, and WWI, but did not have any additional
role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation
of the manuscript. The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the ‘author
contributions’ section.
