Drinking Water Problem    In spite of Nepal having abundant water resources, Kathmandu has never-ending water shortage problem.

Pollution    Kathmandu is Nepal's most polluted city caused mainly by emissions from the industries, vehicle fuel combustion, and resuspension of road dust, also due to inefficient waste management.
