초록

네팔의 천연 수자원은 풍부한 편이나 모든 인구가 안전하고 깨끗한 식수를 공급받고 있지는 못한 상황이다. 또한, 폐수 처리에 대한 상황 역시 매우 열악한 상태라고 할 수 있다. 최근, 도시로의 인구 유입이 증가함에 따라 안전한 물의 공급 및 공중 위생에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있으나, 수인성 질환의 발병률은 여전히 높은 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 네팔의 수질 오염, 식수에서의 비소 오염, 폐수 처리, 그리고 대중의 건강에 대한 수질 오염의 영향 등에 대해 검토하였다. 또한, 폐수 처리와 연관된 규제와 관련하여 한국의 상황과 비교하여 양국의 상황을 비교 고찰하였다. 이러한 내용들에 의거하여 대중의 건강 증진을 위한 현존 문제점들의 해결 방안들을 제시하였다.

Although Nepal is naturally bestowed with ample water resources, not all of the population has access to safe and clean drinking water. Waste water treatment is almost nonexistent. In the recent days the flow of population in the urban areas has increased the existing challenges of providing safe water and promoting sanitation. The prevalence of water borne diseases is high. This paper presents overview of issues like water pollution, arsenic contamination of drinking water, waste water treatment and effects of water contamination on public health. Comparison between waste water treatment regulations in South Korea and Nepal has also been made. Implementation strategies to tackle the existing water related problem for promoting public health is also recommended.
