DR-2025-000125-NPL
Drought,Nepal: Madhesh Province (Province-2), which consists of eight districts, has been facing a severe water crisis that has severely impacted the lives and livelihoods of over 1,220,000 people due to a lack of adequate rainfall in the province.
This comes despite forecasts from the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology predicting above-average rainfall and warmer temperatures across the country this year. However, halfway through the monsoon season, the central plains have experienced far less rainfall than expected.
Not only is this creating a severe crisis in access to safe and sufficient drinking water, but it is also affecting sanitation, personal and environmental hygiene, and the livelihoods of the people, especially agriculture and livestock management.
Furthermore, it is increasing the risk of waterborne and vector-borne disease outbreaks in the affected communities.
Both the provincial and federal governments of Nepal declared a drought emergency on 23rd July 2025.
