It was necessary for Nepal to establish a research centre to study and solve the complex issues and problems associated with hydraulics and sediment in its Himalayan steep rivers for sustainable water resources development. Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University (IOE-TU) in mid eighties planned for a Water Resource Research Centre in Nepal. A hydraulic laboratory was set up with joint co-operation between Norwegian University of Technology and IOE-TU to carry out physical hydraulic model study of headworks of 12 MW hydropower project. The study continued for the period from1989 to 1991. Professor Dagfinn K. Lysne from Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) was instrumental in materializing this hydraulic laboratory. Similarly, the physical model study for the headworks of 60 MW hydropower project was also performed in the same laboratory in 1996 to 1997. In order to provide continuation to this work, Hydro Lab Private Limited (Hydro Lab) was established with the financial support from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad). Since the establishment, Hydro Lab has cooperation with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and International Centre for Hydropower (ICH) Norway. NTNU and ICH has been providing scientific and technical support to the Hydro Lab.
