Executive Summary

The Beacon Project is a long-term partnershipbetween the UKwater company AnglianWaterand its Alliances, WaterAid Nepal, the NepalWater Supply Corporation (NWSC), theMinistryofWater Supply and LahanMunicipality, whichwas initiated in 2016 and implemented from2017. The Project aims to achieve sustainablemunicipality-wide safe water and sanitation forall and create a model which can be replicated in othermunicipalitiesandNWSCbranchofficesinNepal.Creatinga legacythatgrows iscentral tothe Beacon Project and therefore learning will be documentedandsharedastheprojectdevelops.

This report does not cover all aspects of theBeacon Project, but focuses on improvementsto the NWSCwater supply system in Lahan. Itdocumentsmajor activities, impact and lessonslearnt across seven technical areas, which caneach be read as stand-alone case studies, buttogether show how the Beacon Project has contributed towards change across the whole system from source to tap.

–Strategic planning for water resources in Lahanis becoming an increasingly important topic as more householdsareconnectedtothenetworkandthepopulationisforecasttogrowsignificantly.TheBeaconProject has supported two hydrogeological studies by students from Tribhuvan University, initiatedgroundwatermonitoringandishelpingtoimprovecollaborationbetweenthedifferentstakeholderswhichwillbeessentialltodevelopanintegratedwaterresourcesplan.
