WaterAid | Blue gold

Repairing Kathmandu's cultural heritage and city water source.

Ornate, serpent-headed waterpoints are a unique part of Kathmandu's ancient heritage. They also provide free water for all, enabling even the poorest to access a regular supply.

But in recent years the water points have been falling into disrepair and the water quality became dubious.

Together with partners and community groups WaterAid has been rehabilitating traditional water sources to ensure they provide safe, clean water while also maintaining the city's cultural heritage.
