Water - "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, give him the means to fish and he'll eat for the rest of his life"

Some of you will know the above quote from the bible. Considering that the quote was written hundreds of years ago it is still very pertinent today.

It applies to our studies of water supplies in Nepal as if we give a family in Nepal a bucket of water, they can drink/wash for however long the bucket lasts them. If we give them the knowledge of how to find water, build a well, repair the well's pump and build a latrine then people in Nepal can drink/wash (with clean water) forever. Look at the Wateraid website below to see the difference that the scheme has made:
