Water: The Next Biggest Problem in Nepal

Why is Nepal's groundwater declining rapidly? Is unregulated extraction for irrigation, industry, and homes a central cause? Could changing rainfall patterns due to climate change also reduce groundwater replenishment? Does urban growth and deforestation worsen this? Are pollutants threatening groundwater quality and quantity? Could a comprehensive strategy with stricter regulations, sustainable management, reforestation, and community participation secure Nepal's groundwater future?
Is Nepal Running Out of Water?

    I'm from Birgunj and it was too tough for the not-so city areas of Birgunj wherein municipalities couldn't send tanks of drinking water. People were compelled to ask their neighbours for it(if their handpump worked) and not all of them helped for the obvious reason. The recent rain did help a bit but talking about the future, it doesn't seem nice. Shit is about to get real in future.

    I remember birgunj used to a city full of ponds and lakes. They used to recharge ground water and keep the population thriving. Can birgunj metropolis revive the ponds so that there would be no water scarcity?

    I recently faced a water shortage in my village(near Rajbiraj, Saptari), which people had never imagined. The primary water source in Rajbiraj mun. is the KHANEPANI SANSTHAN LIMITED where the main boring seems to have dried up in recent years and it was compelled to construct another deep boring outside the city to supply water. Hats off to unplanned urbanization, deforestation and the Chure exploitation 😔

    I still remember just digging 5 or 6 feet you would see ground water now you have to dig more than 25 to 30 feet to find water. Ground water reserve is depleting rapidly. One grave mistake of our policy makers is that they see our fresh water resources only to build hydropower or irrigation canal. Water on itself is going to be scarce resources in future and Nepal is at 7 th place at high risk of global climate change.
