Scientists continue to evaluate the water quality of streams and rivers flowing through the major districts of Paro, Thimphu, and Punakha in Bhutan, as well as the Sreemangal and Dholubari Tripura Para areas of Bangladesh. Three monitoring stations equipped with real-time sensors were established in 2015 on the Thimphu River in Bhutan and were operated continuously during 2016.
