Stalled Projects, Contaminated Groundwater : Kabul’s Water Crisis Worsens
SHARE

In Kabul, Afghanistan, Bibi Jan struggles to afford water for her family, buying supplies from rickshaw-drawn tankers due to the city’s water crisis. The looming water scarcity is a result of rapid urbanization, historical mismanagement, and climate change, forcing residents to prioritize between water and food.

The situation has been a cause for concern among experts, with warnings that Kabul could run out of groundwater by 2030 if immediate action is not taken. The water crisis is exacerbated by the lack of reliable data, urban planning challenges, and population growth outpacing resources.

The Taliban government has initiated projects to address the water shortage, including recycling water and constructing small dams. However, larger interventions are hindered by financial constraints and technical limitations.

Currently, Kabul relies heavily on contaminated groundwater for drinking, with over 100,000 unregulated wells exacerbating the problem. The city faces an annual deficit in water supply, with resources being depleted faster than they can be replenished.

Efforts to mitigate the crisis, such as diverting water from the Panjshir river and implementing dam projects, have been delayed or stalled due to funding issues.

As a result, residents like Bibi Jan are left to ration water and purchase supplies at high costs from private suppliers. The scarcity of water has become a daily struggle for many Kabul residents, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable solutions to ensure access to clean and affordable water.
