Biography
Alison Shilpakar, a Civil Engineering graduate from Tribhuvan University, has cultivated a strong foundation in Remote Sensing and GIS tools during her academic tenure. His final year project, focusing on a pre-feasibility analysis of the Kalanga Hydropower Project in Nepal, provided him with valuable insights into water management practices. In his current role as a GIS Analyst, Alison actively applies GIS tools to address urban flooding issues in Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC). Utilizing satellite imagery, he identifies inundated areas during monsoon seasons, coordinating with the Disaster Management Department of KMC to conduct on-site investigations for verification. The identified locations undergo assessment for subsequent actions to mitigate flooding risks.
Alison's professional endeavors extend to conducting in-depth research on the Saptakoshi flood, under the guidance of Professor of Civil Engineering (Water and Energy), Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ramesh Kumar Maskey. This study aims to utilize flood discharge for revitalizing the Chure region of Nepal and addressing water scarcity in the Terai region. The findings were presented to notable figures, including President's advisor Dr. Suresh Chandra Chalise and ex-ambassadors of Nepa.
