I was just wondering. Since every house in Kathmandu or Nepal for the matter uses bore well water, does it not make the land unstable and prone to collapse?. Real estate companies even proclaim 24 hour water supply using such a system. Is this even legal or are people bending the rules?. How much of the 24 hour water supply is true?.

The florida sinkhole incident that happened recently comes to mind. I know sinkholes are created in a different way. But still, even though the water does go back to the ground eventually, should not the Nepal government make this illegal?. Correct me if i am wrong. Should an earthquake happen, i think this will make it worse.
