| Abstract |
Although Nepal is naturally bestowed with ample water resources, not all of the population has access to safe and clean drinking water. Waste water treatment is almost nonexistent. In the recent days the flow of population in the urban areas has increased the existing challenges of providing safe water and promoting sanitation. The prevalence of water borne diseases is high. This paper presents overview of issues like water pollution, arsenic contamination of drinking water, waste water treatment and effects of water contamination on public health. Comparison between waste water treatment regulations in South Korea and Nepal has also been made. Implementation strategies to tackle the existing water related problem for promoting public health is also recommended. |
