english: This gloomy mood is understandable when taking into consideration the two-decade-long, unfulfilled promise of a water pipeline known as 'the Melamchi Project' which was meant to inject 170 million liters of water per day into Kathmandu from the Melamchi river that lies on a district bordering China.
non_english: Dokončení projektu by nicméně tristní situaci zcela nevyřešilo. Současný státní vodovod dodává do Káthmándú 130 miliónů litrů vody denně.
