No alternative to rainwater in Dhankuta’s Thamdanda

Ever since water sources in the village began to dry up, residents have been reeling under a chronic shortage.

Shanti Rai, a resident of Kerabari Rural Municipality’s ward 1 in Morang, has a family of four. She has been using rainwater for drinking and household purposes for ages now. There is no drinking water supply to the village or any other source of water. As there is no running water supply in her village, the locals rely on collected rainwater to meet their needs.
