The Province 3 government’s initiative to build conservation ponds by adopting the rainwater harvesting method is showing results. Dried up wells and tube wells are gradually filling up, providing a respite to the local settlements and wildlife, say forest officials. In the fiscal year 2018/19, the province government constructed 15 conservation ponds in Marin Rural Municipality and Sunkoshi, Ghyanglekh, Hariharpurgadhi and Kamalamai municipalities in Sindhuli district; six in Ramechhap; three in Dolakha; eight in Sindhupalchok; 15 in Kavre; two in Makwanpur and 32 in Chitwan.
