Water, basic needs of Human to sustain the life and we need all the way in our life. But how easily you get this basic needs is a question for so many of us. I haven't experience of abroad but I am well experienced of Situation in Nepal from Terai to Kathmandu and from Kathmandu to Hill and Himalaya. We are facing hard problems to get drinking water since long and problem is unique in each eco zones of Nepal.

 

In Terai, People are with abundant water resources either from River or from Underground sources. But questions and problem arise on its fit ability to drink as few places are with harmful elements ARSENIC. In Hilly the problem is little bit different. We have water resources that are generally pure. This is what infiltration and percolation makes. But problem arise while supplying water to people's resident. In Himalaya, some places are dry enough as some are with abundant water resources along the way from Mountains. But it's essentially cold enough to get these into body, let it be its not a problem for us.

 

And story here is of Hilly Part of Nepal. On 3rd day to Camp, I along with my Team were there for solving the above mentioned problem. When story beings everything was fine before devastating and catastrophic Earthquake and it was same Earthquake that damaged away water channel and system of this Village too. Pipelines were blocked due to Landslides that was triggered by Earthquake. We have no option except setting new pipeline. It's really difficult to seek the problem lying below the Earth and mend it.

 

So, as a Volunteer I was helping the Campaign of JAY NEPAL. We are there with local people and they are helping us so graciously and they need it too. Our main job is to raise level of resource tank and fit new pipelines. We are without modern technology but its unique to work with available resources as you can apply idea in other parts of Nepal.

 

One team is working to rise up the level of resource tank and another to fit new pipeline which goes through rivers, marshy fields, side of hill and finally to villages but level of land is not same always. People removed stones and soil to make tank bigger and plastered new tank. I was helping to remove stones and after my work is complete, I went on connecting pipeline.

 

They are using Stove and heating rod to connect all these pipes. Heating rod was heated till high temperature and was stroked on two ends of two pipes. And it was checked either our work is successful or not by moving pipes and beating it slightly. And some broke on this check and some are strong enough. If it breaks, edge should be cut down and again same procedure were applied.

And we made it to reservoir tank finally and problem was solved. People either bury the pipelines where children may play and damage pipelines other wise left as it was.

 

And now clean drinking water flows through people's home and we are happy at our work. Also our Agriculture team is working for irrigation system in the village, as fields are dry most of the time. I will be reporting about our project more as we will peek through it.
