However, the existing reed bed system constructed in 2016 has not been functioning well \u2013 the output is not sufficiently clean. The liquid waste and effluent, together with grey water from the laundry and showers, flows into the reed beds where the waste should undergo physical, chemical and biological processes to breakdown the wastewater into less harmful forms through biodegradation. To rectify and rehabilitate the reed bed system to perform at its best requires around USD 30,000 of investment.\u00a0<strong>If you would like to donate towards this restoration to protect the health of the local community, please visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.umn.org.np\/donate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.umn.org.np\/donate<\/a>\u00a0and mention \u2018OCH wastewater\u2019 with your donation.
