dc.description.abstractDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, Bidur (Nepal) residents relied on smaller community-managed water supply systems. Government lockdowns barred travel for technicians (along with most people), and machines used by larger projects having technical problems could not be repaired. The Bidur model offers a powerful example for built-in resilience. Large water supply systems are important but susceptible to risks like landslides. Municipalities need urgent technical support in water security planning. A study of Bidur residents’ households with access to alternative water sources supplied through smaller community-led projects were less affected by the 2015 earthquake.en
