Plastic waste and litter have polluted this stream, threatening water quality, wildlife, and public health

Kaski, Gandaki ProvinceJul 2026

Trash in Waterway

This waterway has become polluted due to the improper disposal of plastic, food packaging, and other household waste.

The accumulated garbage contaminates the water, harms aquatic ecosystems, and can obstruct the natural flow of the stream.

During rainfall, this waste may contribute to localized flooding and create breeding grounds for insects and disease-causing organisms. Protecting waterways requires responsible waste disposal, regular cleanup efforts, and greater public awareness.

Installing waste bins, enforcing anti-dumping measures, and organizing community cleanup campaigns can help restore the stream and prevent further environmental damage.

A clean waterway benefits both the environment and the surrounding community.
