6.  The people in Kathmandu Valley have overused fresh
and groundwater reserves. When groundwater is not
allowed to recharge, the rivers flowing through the
valley become increasingly polluted and unsafe for
daily use.
 About 40–50 years ago, water from the Bagmati River
and its six major tributaries was clean enough for
residents to use directly as their primary source.
However, environmental degradation and pollution
contaminated the rivers, making the water hazardous
for daily use.
 Most of the communities had access to dhunge dhara
(stone spouts) or padhero (natural spouts) so they did
not have to face the water crisis

7.  Over time, however, deforestation continued,
pollution worsened, and residents continued
drawing groundwater until the traditional water
sources dried up.
 Further more, the lack of maintenance and
continuous checks of water supply have caused
chemical poisoning and introduce diseases .
 To provide a sustainable supply of safe water
and improve the health and well-being of the
community, the Government of Nepal
introduced the Melamchi Water Supply Project.

8.  The biggest project undertaken by the Government of
Nepal in partnership with the KUKL.
 MWSP aims to divert 170 million liters of water per
day from a small Melamchi River to Kathmandu Valley
through 27 Kilometer tunnel
 The project aimed to connect the water supply to
180,000 households in the Kathmandu Valley.
 Added source from Yangri and Larke river from
sindhupalchowk.

9. Subproject 1: Melamchi
River Water Diversion
Subproject.
1. The treatment plant which will
have an initial capacity of 170
Ml/d is designed to be extended
to 510 Ml/d.
2. 27-kilometer (km) water diversion
tunnel
Subproject 2: Kathmandu
Valley Water Supply and
Sanitation Subproject
1. proper distribution and the
improvement of the existing
water supply systems around
the Kathmandu Valley
2. Examination of the
underground water supply
network to minimize water
leakages in the future and
guarantee water delivery
standards.

13. Melamchi Water Supply Project (MWSP) is the one
of the most controversial projects funded by
 Asian Development Bank (ADB) in collaboration
with Japan Bank for International Cooperation
(JBIC).
 Norwegian Agency for Development
Cooperation (NORAD).
 Swedish International Development Assistance
(SIDA).
 Nordic Development Fund (NDF)
 Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
(OPEC) .

14. 

15.  The massacre of Nepal’s royal family
 The Maoist group rose to power, international
financiers pulled out of Nepal on account of human
rights concerns.
 Unstable political Condition.
 Withdrawal of fund from foreign agencies.

16.  Diveristity in Landscape
 7.6-magnitude earthquake in Sindhupalchowk
district, the site of the water source and
ongoing tunnel excavation.
 Damaged and impassable roads to the project
site delayed the project even further.
 Weak interior geography in tunneling line.

17.  Obstruction of local
 Conflict in compensation .
 Disturbance in community life.
 Improper social upliftment programme

18.  Tendering and contracting process.
 Rebidding
 Frequent change of contractors without
completion of work.

19.  -Due to blasting during tunneling

23. 1.Social upliftment program( SUP ) must be
implemented
2. Satisfaction of the local people.
3. Good contractor should chosen.
4. Intensive awarness programme
5. Involvement of local people

24.  Total Length of Tunnel = 27 kilometer
 Only 412 metres of the 27 km tunnel of
Melamchi project remains to be dug.(Jan 2020)

26.  Project has completed 80% works on installing
pipeline to supply water from the Melamchi
River of Sindhupalchowk
 About 650 km long pipeline has been installed so
far. A total of 670 km of pipeline is needed.
Similarly
 60km-long bulk distribution system has been
installed while total BDS 66km.
 Likewise, around 45,186 households have been
connected with new tap lines which will deliver
water of Melamchi.

28. -Reservoir tanks at Aarubari, Mahankal, Bansbari,
Pani Pokhari, two of Khumaltar are nearing
completion.
-Once water comes to the Sundarijal reservoir, it
will take another five-six months before
delivering water to households with the new
pipeline.
-Line from Sundarijal to Mahankal is already
clear.
-Water will be stored at the Mahankal tanks and
supplied through existing pipeline system.

31.  Upon completion , the project estimates a
supply deficit of 102 million liters per day
(MLD).
 With the infrastructure, treatment methods,
and distribution capacity, this project will
provide improved water quality with increased
quantity.
 Kathmandu Valley will have no water deficit
by 2023–2025.

32.  The successful completion of the MWSP would
encourage the government to undertake similar
complex projects in the future.
• Reduction of privatization of drinking water.
• Not only will a sustainable water supply improve the
health and well-being of the Nepalese people and make
their lives more convenient
• It will also make them more efficient as they invest their
time in other development work
