Priority Works of KVWSMB

1. Identify new tube well sites
⦁ Prepare program of resistivity survey
⦁ select areas and carry out resistivity survey
eg. Lalitpur , Imadol : 3-4 sites
Bhaktapur : 3-4 sites
Kathmandu : 3-4 sites
For this purpose get information from Branch Offices
about availability of sites.
⦁ Research on the capacity of recharge and extraction
⦁ Group I - as identified by JICA (1990) study
Group II - Consultancy for rest of the places
