KABUL (Pajhwok): Climate change threatened Afghanistan’s water resources in the last four decades, with the underground water level in Kabul receding by 15 meters on average.
This was stated at an event organized in Kabul University on the occasion of World Water Day.
Professor Asadullah Rahmatzai, head of the Hydrology Department of the Faculty of Geography of Kabul University, said that Afghanistan’s water was currently in a critical state.
He identified snow cover, glaciers and lakes as main sources of water in Afghanistan, but said these sources had been endangered due to climate changes in the last four . . .
