Chinese company Sinohydro Corporation Limited has been employed to complete the remaining works related to tunnel works of Melamchi Water Supply Project, Nepal’s largest water supply project, Melamchi Water Supply Board said.

After the termination of contract with Italian contractor Cooperativa Muratori e Cementisti di Ravenna, in January this year, the new contract was awarded to the Chinese company, after conducting a fresh bid, the board said Sunday.

The project aims to supply 170 million litres of fresh water per day to capital Kathmandu. Together with available supply of water from existing sources, the commissioning of Melamchi project will largely fulfill the existing water demands in the capital city, nepali officials said.
