Where in the Kathmandu Valley can people harvest rain water?
Rain water harvesting is important all over the city and the systems can be built on all types of buildings. Ground water recharging is especially important in the north zone of the valley where the soil is more porous. The southern border of this zone would run from Ichangu – Swayambhu – Old Baneswor – Thimi – Bhaktapur.(which includes Bansbari, Dhobi Khola, Gorkarna and Manohara) If you live to the north of this border you can save the groundwater levels in Kathmandu from destruction by simply installing a rain water harvesting groundwater recharging system.
