WATER PROJECTS FALL FLAT- NEPAL

Of the 38,000 drinking water projects in the country only half are operational and the remaining halves are not functioning. It is estimated that NRS 15 billion is required to overhaul these projects. However construction of new projects is less expensive than the maintenance costs. At present, more than 20 organizations are working on water and sanitation programs. Only 55 percent of the country’s population has access to clean drinking water.
