Water Supply

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

The water supply projects will be implemented in Karnali and Sudurpaschim provinces of Nepal.

Only 18 percent of the Nepalese population have access to safely managed drinking water supply all year around.

The ministry said it would do its best to provide clean drinking water to all villages across the war-torn country.

The existing water supply in the Kathmandu Valley is less than one third of the demand.

Chief Minister of Karnali province, Jeevan Bahadur Shahi has taken stock of the damage caused by flood and landslide following the recent rains.

Minister for Energy, Water Resources, and Irrigation, Pampha Bhusal, has said tackling the impact of climate change is becoming challenging.

Water supply system in Baglung Bazar remains disrupted for the past five days, leading to acute shortage of water in the town.
