In May 2014 we’ll be returning to the Ilam district and to Panchthar to retrieve the data collected over the past six months. We’ll also be updating the metering equipment with a new and improved remote monitoring sensor that has better power management and a larger more efficient solar panel courtesy of Voltaic Systems (www.voltaicsystems.com).

The existing equipment will be brought back to Canada for upgrades and maintenance before being brought back to Nepal in October by Byron Bignell when he begins the research for his masters degree.
