contamination

Horrific reports from the Karnali floods have created an urgent need to develop a prevention plan to save the maximum number of lives and property of the Nepali people.

Alarmingly, almost 70 percent of the drinking samples taken from Kathmandu valley by the Epidemiology and Disease Control Division, have been found contaminated.

10.8 million people in Nepal do not have access to improved sanitation, and 3.5 million do not have access to basic water services.
