Description:
The Himalayan villages Namche Bazar, Khunde and Khumjung, situated about 3.500 - 3.900 m.a.s.l., had became a tourist centre, with the associated benefits and impacts. For health reasons, the provision of drinking water to the local population and for tourists had become an urgent requirement, as the existing supply was unsatisfactory. In addition to improving the drinking water supply, new sewerage and waste water treatment facilities were also constructed.
