WATER WOES- NEPAL



People of Dharpani, Kanchanpur, western Nepal are compelled to carry water from river for drinking. They use the same river water for washing clothes and watering cattle. Locals suffer from dysentery, diarrhea and skin diseases. There are 22 households in this locality fetching water from river since 2012 as a canal made for irrigation and drinking water was damaged.
