520			_aSummary: “Effective monitoring of the hydro meteorological environment of the Hindu Kush-Himalaya (HKH) Mountains – the collection of information defining the climate, hydrology, and glaciers of these mountains – has proven difficult because of problems of accessibility, the complex nature of the mountain environment, lack of conceptual models of the mountain hydro meteorological environment, and inadequate analysis of the existing databases from monitoring of the Indus and Ganges River basins of India, Nepal, and Pakistan…”—(page summary).
