Kathmandu, in the 1980s, was a growing city. As its population started to increase, a lot of problems arose. One of them was the lack of clean drinking water.
To curb the problem, a project was envisioned in the 1980s. The project aimed at bringing water from the Melamchi in Sindhupalchok to Kathmandu. The project was inaugurated in 1998 with the first phase to be completed a decade later. But, nothing went as planned as the project only took off properly in 2007. Even though Melamchi’s water has started to come to Kathmandu after 23 years, the project is yet to be fully completed.
