Nepal’s rivers, lakes, and groundwater resources are vital for both local communities and ecosystems. However, growing urbanization, industrialization, and improper waste disposal have led to significant water pollution, which threatens biodiversity, public health, and the livelihoods of millions of people.
Our wastewater treatment and water quality monitoring initiatives have significantly improved the water quality in over 10 communities across the Kathmandu Valley.
Our river and lake clean-up campaigns have resulted in the removal of over 50 tons of plastic waste and other pollutants from water bodies like the Bagmati River and Phewa Lake.
Through policy advocacy and direct engagement, we’ve helped reduce industrial wastewater discharge into rivers by promoting cleaner production technologies and treatment facilities.
Verdant Visionaries Research Institute is a leading environmental research institute based in Nepal, committed to the conservation of biodiversity, climate change mitigation, and sustainable waste management.
