RUPA LAKE UNDER THREAT OF ENCROACHMENT- NEPAL



According to a survey carried out by the Valley Town Development Committee in Kaski district three years ago, the Rupa lake area had shrunk to 90 hectares from 135 hectares 37 years ago. Haphazard development works and opening of roads are to blame for the encroachment. Local efforts to conserve the lake were not enough to and the need was for the construction of embankment around it.
