====Concerning the The current water supply and food security====

[http://www3.helvetas.ch/nepal/wEnglish/index.asp Helvetas SI Nepal] has developed and implemented a plan to address water management issues in a participatory and integrated manner. '''The Water Use Master Plan (WUMP)''' is a tool that puts the local community at the centre of decisions and that looks at water resources, water demands and potential uses in a broad and integrating way, including a prioritized list of water-related infrastructure plans. The tool has proved to be successful and is being replicated by a number of organisations in Nepal and has the interest of the government as well ([http://www.dolidar.gov.np/ DoLIDAR]).

Although the experiences so far have been very positive, some challenges have been identified: WUMP should address water productivity in agriculture more prominently and should pay more attention to climate change effects. Through its collaboration with [http://www.rainfoundation.org/ RAIN], Helvetas SI Nepal considers that by putting rainwater harvesting more to the forefront, and by incorporating a catchment perspective with a 3R approach into the current WUMP, these issues can be addressed.
