It’s
a no-brainer that water being an indispensable source of energy constituting around 80
percent of the human body mass, is crucial for the survival of the human race and has no
substitute. But because of rapid urbanisation and industrialisation, it has become difficult to
access safe drinking water, especially in the cities.
In the case of Kathmandu valley, there’s indeed an acute shortage of drinking water—the valley is
able to supply only one-third of the demand during the wet season, while in the dry season, it is able to
supply only one-fourth. Adding to the scarcity is the fact that as much as 20 percent of water gets lost
due to leakage.
