The RWSS project aims to improve the health situation of the people by providing quality drinking water. Secondly, it aims to reduce the work load of the community and save time from fetching water. This saved time can be used for income generating activities. There are many water-related issues in rural Nepal: lack of near by drinking water sources, use of poor quality drinking water, and excessive
time (mainly women's time) to fetch drinking water. As a result of these, the health situation of the community is deteriorating as well as affecting on the economic activity of the local people. .
