This document provides an introduction to public health engineering (PHE) in Nepal. It discusses key concepts in PHE including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). It outlines some of the national and international goals for ensuring access to water and sanitation, including Sustainable Development Goals. The Constitution of Nepal guarantees citizens the rights to clean environment, healthcare, clean water and hygiene. Several acts and policies in Nepal are also relevant to PHE. Major areas of focus for PHE include water supply schemes, sewer lines, toilets, and sanitation of institutions, housing and other infrastructure.

- #6: Desalination is a process that involves removing the dissolved salt from ocean water. It is also a way of increasing the water supply in places where water is limited and very valuable. Water harvesting is the collection of runoff for productive purposes. Instead of runoff being left to cause erosion, it is harvested and utilized. In the semi-arid ... How does it work? The process of removing the salt includes forcing water, under high pressure, through a filter that is fine enough to remove the salt.
- #7: Basic water supply coverage in Nepal was 83.6 percent in 2014 while sanitation had reached 70.3 percent of the population. However, less than half (49.5 percent) of all households had access to piped water supplies (Annex IVf). Access to such supplies varies across social groups and by place of residence. Access to piped water is positively associated with household wealth, as almost all (99 percent) households in the highest wealth quintile are located within 30 minutes of a water source and access is uniform during both the rainy and dry seasons. Providing piped safe water is challenging as a recent survey indicated that 82.2 percent of households use water contaminated with E. coli (CBS, 2014). Although two-thirds (67.6 percent) of Nepal’s population use latrines, only 30 percent of urban households are connected to a sewerage systems. Two-fifths (41 percent) of local authorities (VDCs and municipalities) were declared open defecation free in 2014. However, there is still a challenge to close the sanitation gap in the Tarai (southern flatlands) to achieve universal access to basic sanitation. The proposed SDG 6 targets for Nepal 2030 include the following: (i) 99 percent household access to basic water supplies. (ii) 95 percent of households have access to a piped water supply and improved sanitation. (iii) All communities are open defecation free. (iv) All urban households are connected to a sewerage system (Annex IVf).
