    The research project SHARE PAPRIKA is devoted to determining the state of glaciers and water resources in the Hindu-Kush Karakorum Himalaya region (HKKH) and to estimating their conditions in the coming decades in different climate change scenarios. PAPRIKA included the twin national projects: PAPRIKA-Italy and PAPRIKA-France, having two different focus areas. The main focus area of PAPRIKA-Italy was the Karakorum region, in particular the Baltoro glacier and the upper Indus basin in Northern Pakistan. Another focus of PAPRIKA-Italy was the Changri Nup glacier area, lying on lateral valley of the Khumbu region in Nepal.

Four dedicated hydrological campaigns were performed to assess the quality an quantity of water; in April and July 2011, May 2012 and April 2013. Two permanent hydrometric stations were installed in two key sites, the Shigar Bridge and Paju, providing continuous measurements of water level and hanse, discharge activity and water chemistry.
