flood in bagmati river

Separating Kathmandu from Patan, the holy river Bagmati is home to many Hindu temples along its banks. Running through the mid of the Kathmandu valley, sadly, the river ranks among the most polluted river in the country. Once known for its natural beauty, river Bagmati has now turned into a sewage canal due to massive pollution received from the dumping of untreated waste management. Despite the condition of the river, it holds great importance among the Nepalese; therefore, the efforts to make the water cleaner and less polluted are taking rapidness.
