Patan was suffering from a water shortage. It may not be as simple as a water shortage. There was even a line of people waiting for water at Manga Hiti, a watering hole in a corner of Durbar Square. There may be no water at all coming out of the taps in each household.
There were three places where water came out at this watering hole, but the amount of water was low at all of them and it took a long time to fill the containers with water. The line to wait for a turn seemed long. But waiting in line for one's turn is nothing but pain, so instead of humans, containers filled with pumped water were lined up waiting for their turn to come.
