Arsenic-Free Terai — Urgent Priority

Large parts of Nepal's Terai belt have dangerously high arsenic levels in groundwater. The budget completes 250 pending arsenic-free water projects. Smart technology (sensors and IoT monitoring) deployed for Sarlahi and Dhanusa districts to use underground irrigation water safely.

Kathmandu Water Reform

  • Kathmandu Drinking Water Board restructured — separate regulatory and operational roles
  • Melamchi water supply: distribution to Koteshwor, Kalanki, Gwarko areas extended
  • Rs. 1.93 arba for unified water management in Kathmandu: electricity, drinking water, sewage
  • Dual service: separate water quality standards for domestic use vs. industrial use
  • Water quality testing standardisation — certification for all supply systems
✅ Merits
Universal clean water access — fundamental right fulfilled
Arsenic-free Terai — prevents chronic health crises
Reduces household water treatment costs
Smart monitoring enables predictive maintenance
⚠️ Challenges
100% rural coverage in 5 years is highly ambitious
Mountainous terrain makes distribution infrastructure expensive
Water board institutional reform needs sustained political will
