Kathmandu, A city of 5 Million (unofficially)
we talk about electricity problem of 16 hours a day load shedding (that is being addressed urgently by the government)
a larger problem is looming. “water or the lack of it” is the prime talk issue amongst women in Kathmandu.
Tap water comes once every few days in most places in Kathmandu.
with this ‘crisis’ is a gold opportunity.
Just find a way to solve this problem (or small part of it) by and you have a good “social entrepreneurship” opportunity of a life time.
Few ways i have heard so far.
“monsoon rain harvesting in individual homes for use in dry seasons”
“efficient affordable private water distribution systems to invidual homes”
” affordable and big water retention tanks for winter”
“clean technologies that recycle water used in homes”
“kitchen utilities that regulate less use of water with maximum efficiency – ie. new efficient utilities designs”
Up for the challenge? you are in a gold field here!
well i am thinking about it myself.
ideas ?
