The workshop was conducted under the leadership of the Department of Water Supply and Sewerage Management (DWSSM) and with financial support from UNICEF Nepal and Oxfam in Nepal.
The updated guidelines will be climate-resilient, GEDSI-integrated, user-friendly, and prepared using a modular approach. Based on initial consultations, the following 13 modules will be developed, supported by annexes containing drawings and quantity estimates of major water supply components:

M9 – Financial and Economic Analysis
M10 – Specifications
M11 – Rate Analysis Norms
M12 – Environmental and Social Safeguards
M13 – Operation and Maintenance
We look forward to delivering comprehensive and future-ready design guidelines for Nepal’s water supply sector.
