In the years leading up to 2011 the lake next to Basanta Pandel's University in Kathmandu had all but dried up. He took it upon himself to find a means of refilling the lake. Working in partnership with Nepal Red Cross, Pandel and a small dedicated team, succeeded in refilling the lake through rainfall collection on the roofs of the school.

A portion of the water collected through these systems is purified and used as drinking water on campus. This is the only drinking source, as the municipality does not supply water to the school.
