Headline Malaria in the WHO South-East Asia region 
Description The waters of sorrow become the river of life

For generations the people of Nepal have spoken of the River Rapti as "kala-pani" (literally "black water") or the Waters of Sorrow. For the valley of the Rapti, 65 miles long and comprising 600 square miles of potentially fertile land, close to the northern border of India, was fever-ridden, an abode of death, the undisputed territory of the malarial mosquito. With the help of WHO, the government of Nepal cleared malaria from the Rapti Valley and 3,000 families - once landless or scratching a precarious living by terracing the arid hills high above the "malaria line" - settled on their own holdings on 14,000 bighas of land given them by the Government (1 bigha - 1.69 acres). When the scheme was complete 7,000 families had settled.
