In Nepal, water provision in small towns is unreliable because of intermittent supply, dubious quality of what water there is, and substandard and nancially unsustainable water supply service providers.

“The result so far is that 1.26 million people are already connected to the water supply system, receiving water of national drinking water quality standard, and a further 390,000 are due to be connected soon.”
