| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Kathmandu City is one of the Asian cities where intermittent water supply is prevailing due to a lack of water resources and delay in extension of water supply systems. The weekly water supply hours among the residents in Kathmandu City varied from 2 hours to 168 hour, indicating serious inequality. The Gini coefficient for Kathmandu city’s water supply hours obtained from the Lorenz curve was 0.67. In addition, the residents who can access short hours to piped water must pay for alternative water sources, such as truck delivered water, which is more expensive and contaminated than piped water. Although household water treatment could alleviate the water quality problems under IWS, there is a need for compulsory re-distribution of limited amounts of water for eradicate water inequality under IWS.
