- •
We pursued glacio-hydrological modeling of the Dudh Koshi river of Nepal.
- •
We used in situ data gathered during 2012–2014, historical ground and satellite data.
- •
We investigated the impact of climate change until 2100 using IPCC AR5 scenarios.
- •
Stream flows will be largely reduced (− 30% or so) until 2100.
- •
Ice volume in the catchment will largely decrease (− 50% or so) until 2100.
