SFD (Level 2) Report - Resunga Municipality Environment and Public Health Organization (ENPHO) (2024)
Resunga Municipality is situated in Gulmi District of Lumbini Province in the western region of Nepal. It is divided into 14 wards and covers an area of 83.74 sq. km. It was established on May 8, 2014, by merging 4 Village Development Committees (VDCs) namely, Tamghas, Arkhale, Simichaur and Dubuchaur. It lies at 27°59ʹ to 28°7ʹN latitude and 83°12ʹ to 83°19ʹE longitude and at the altitude from 645 metres above sea level (masl) to 2,325 masl (Resunga Municipality, 2023).
A population of 31,551 is residing on 9,015 households in the municipality (National Statistics Office, 2023). The annual population growth rate of the municipality is -0.3%. This shows that the municipality has increasing out migration.
The SFD graphic shows that excreta generated from 85% of the population are safely managed while 15% of the population are unsafely managed. The safely managed FS generated from 85% of population is temporary as the FS has not been emptied. The FS generated from 1% of population is only treated from biogas digester at households. With the current practice of faecal sludge management (FSM), the proportion of safely managed FS will soon become unsafely managed once the containments start filling up.
