The agro-climatic data of the Gishwati area have been gathered for analysis of rainfall variability and agressivity. This area shows agroclimatic zones of wet highland, wet frost and wet alpine frost conditions. The information of wet moisture regimes with very limited evapotranspiration in high altitudes could be considered in the equation for generating appropriate interventions. Soil database was also explored to understand the soil properties including soil depth, and soil types.
