The Lalitpur Sub-Metropolitan City Office (LSMC) states that there are 25 pokharis in the city today with the major ones being Prayag, Jawalakhel and Pim Bahal. Pim Bahal Pokhari
Was built in the 14th century and is one of the more famous ponds in Patan. How ever, it had lain in a state of neglect for a long time. This ancient city has somehow had some trouble maintaining its historical ponds. According to a recent news report, however, three ponds – Nehoo, Saptapatal and Purnachandi- have been earmarked by the LSMC for extensive repair and renovation. This is mainly an attempt to recharge the pond by harvesting rainwater in order to solve the city's acute drinking water problem.
