A woman with a baby on her back and a young boy was drawing water at a well on a street corner in the old city of Panauti. In Bhaktapur, too, there were many people drawing water from a well on a street corner. At this time of the year, there seems to be a general shortage of water in the Kathmandu Valley. I saw people fetching water at every well. Since the rainfall is low and the water is often cut off, people come to the wells to draw water for daily use.

The well here was a magnificent stone well with ornate decoration. However, the amount of water coming out of the well was not much. The water flow from the faucet was unreliable. At this rate, it must take a long time to draw the required amount.
