Kirtipur Housing
The Kirtipur Housing project is the first of its kind of rehabilitation project in Kathmandu. It not only provides shelter to the affected families but also sets a precedent of being an environment friendly community. The houses are constructed in two rows with open spaces which can be used as play grounds and other purposes. Two wells are constructed and effort is being made to get a drinking water pipe line from the government. During dry season the water shortage is worse in the urban centers so to overcome this problem, rain water harvesting is introduced. Three underground tanks are built to collect rain water. And for the optimum usage of water waste a low cost, natural waste water treatment option ie Reed Bed Treatment system (RBT), is also installed so that the treated water can be reused for various purposes like gardening, cleaning and flushing.
