Water Connections - Nepal

Imagine rising one morning to find that your access to one of the most basic gifts of nature, water, has disappeared. You can't take the normal shower or shave. You can't fix your cup of coffee, mix a pitcher of juice, cook your cereal, or rinse the dishes. Your plans to throw a load of clothes into the washer are now impossible. You're unable to revive your drooping house plants, wipe up the spill on the kitchen floor, replenish the dog's water bowl, or brush your teeth. Every turn of the faucet yields frustrating nothingness. In an instant, the comforting patterns of your daily routine have become impossible and much of your household -- from dishrag to sink to hose to pitcher to bathroom and laundry room -- has lost its function.
