“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarcely see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
― William Blake
While the world celebrates #worldwaterday, my village in Kavrepalanchowk, Timal suffers from water scarcity then and now. Do you know what it feels like Waking up at 2 am in the morning,traveling a distance of more than 1 hour and still you have to stand in a queue to fill a vessel of 20 litres and carry back through a path that's difficult to walk even without carrying anything with you ?This very stone spout(Harke ko Dhara)has to meet the water demand of 3 wards consisting of nearly 300 households everyday . The people have to carry the water even for their cattle, not to mention the demand for household purpose.
The main problem is the place do not have other water sources nearby and that is feasible. People have made artificial ponds, constructed a storage tanks in their homes where they collect rainwater but alas! People have not witnessed rain for quite long and the condition is tougher in the drier months.
