v Satisfactory model performance
v Relatively higher volume difference in validation year due to over estimation of simulated discharge
v Better and consistent simulated flows during low flow period than high flows (Nepal et al., 2014)
v SRM, HBV model; underestimation of some observed high flows (Bhattari et al., 2015; Khadka et al, 2015)

v Snow melt contribution higher in 2016-2020: similar to study in Langtang river basin (Pradhananga et al., 2015)
v Under both scenarios during 2031-2040 earlier shifting of monsoonal peaks in months of May, June and July due to higher melting
v Snow melt contribution not much significant in future period in Tamakoshi River basin (Khadka et al, 2014)
