Well, well is a quite popular word we use, with multi-meaning. As a noun in oxford dictionary, well is a deep hole in the ground from which people obtain water with sides usually covered with bricks or stones. It is created in the ground by digging, driving or drilling to access liquid resource. Dhunge dharas literally means stone spout. It is traditional stone drinking fountain consisting of intricately carved stone waterways through which water flows. Both of these are the supportive sources of underground water that make lives of people easier. Not only for water, it is also important for its beauty and architecture. Joyful moment begins when we stand for a queue and pull water out of the well through bucket tied with rope . We all know how ground water is purified and collected in these sources. Water passes through small pores of a layer of rock and soil is its simple mechanism. Ground water pollution is the main problem that makes people to hate these beautiful water sources. Lack of proper sanitation measures, improperly placed wells, can lead the pure water contaminated with pathogens. Overdose of fertilizers, other toxins that leached into the well. Empty wells and dharas are due to urbanization that make ground water recharge impossible. Dug wells and dhunge dharas are the most contaminated with nitrate, but generally have low levels of irons. Among 573 dhunge dharas, more than its half now contain either polluted water or is empty. |

Hey Binita,
Dhunge dhara has been in the version of extinction. Slowly,it has been losing its own beauty due to ground pollution.We should maintain it's beauty by minimizing pollution.
Thank you for your informative piece of report!

Hello Binita!!
I hope you are fine and doing great.
I really enjoyed reading yours report.
It remind me of standing in a queue for a gallon of water when I was a kid.
I along with my mother used to go in a dhungedhara of Swayambhu and we were compelled to waste our whole day just to fetch 10 litre of water.
Keep writing and shining.
Hope to know more from you.
Warm regards,
Meena
