The history of limnology in Nepal focuses on the study of
limnology in
Nepal, which has been done by many foreign and Nepali researchers and students of
Tribhuvan University.
Parameters
The research was done mainly on the following parameters:
In 1970 The first study was done by a
German limnologist L.Loffler in
Khumbu area.
In 1980 there were 20 studies.
Until 1990 the number of studies were 20.
From 2001–2009 76 studies were done in lakes and ponds like
Tilicho Lake,
Rara Lake. The first study on Tilicho was in 1959.[4]
Field laboratory
"In April 1977 work was started on a laboratory office building. This was ready for use in September 1977. The building offers sufficient space, a good laboratory bench with power outlets, etc. A library room is also provided. However, the building might prove unsatisfactory for continuing activities if leakage problems are not attended to."[5]
Upon establishment of the laboratory some of the equipment and tools included were a
stereo microscope,
microscope,
top pan balance, "a Hachkit for simple chemical analysis and a refrigerator".[5]
