It is water pollution in Kathmandu, especially in the Bagmati River. It is very polluted because more and more people live here, and it is crowded. Everyone throws waste into the river, and there is no proper management of waste. Besides that, the main problem is the drainage system. Although they are not treated properly, the waste is directly mixed with the river, which increases pollution. Because of this reason, aquatic life is very distressed. When we listen to our ancestors, they say that it is a big river and there are lots of aquatic animals such as fish and other creatures, but now there is no life, just a dump of garbage. The water is not flowing because of solid waste, and the smell is very annoying. We can sit for five minutes near the river, and this makes the whole city more polluted. It is also a problem for irrigation. There is no irrigation system, and there is not much land, but wherever there is a problem with irrigation. Twenty years ago, this acted as a major irrigation source. Now it is in a very critical condition.
